FAQs
What room size will this heat?
Plan ~20–25 BTU per sq ft. This model is rated up to 1,000 sq ft. Always size to insulation and your regional climate.
Is it EPA-certified?
Yes—EPA Phase II qualified with emissions below 5.1 g/kg. See the manual (PDF) for test data.
Catalytic vs. non-catalytic—what’s the difference here?
This is a non-catalytic unit. Non-catalytic fireplaces are simpler to operate and offer lively flames, though catalytic models typically deliver longer burns and lower emissions.
Do I need an Outside Air Kit?
Yes—a fresh-air intake adapter is included. For tighter homes, an outside air kit ensures stable draft and optimal performance.
What clearances should I plan?
See the Specs tab for the clearance table. Always adhere to the installation guidelines in the manual (PDF).
Which venting and hearth pad do I need?
Requires a standard 8″ Class A chimney. See internal venting and hearth pad options on PureFlameCo for compatible accessories.
Can I add a blower?
Not specified. Blowers may enhance heat distribution in larger rooms—see our PureFlameCo accessories for options.
What’s the warranty and return policy?
Covered by Valcourt’s limited lifetime manufacturer warranty for residential use. Returns follow PureFlameCo’s standard policy.
How does shipping work?
