It generates up to 43,000 BTU's hour, yet offers and efficiency of 83% with natural gas and 86% with propane. The Heritage is certified as a "direct vent furnace" distinguishing it from non-heating "decorative" gas stoves. This makes it the most versatile heat source for your home, townhouse, or for zonal heating in large homes. A state-of-the-art ignition system keeps the fire burning even when your electricity fails. Add splendor to the standard black model with an optional cast brick fireback, or enhance the arched bayview door and decorative grill in a 24 karat gold or pewter finish. A remote control or wall thermostat is also available, making the Heritage Freestanding Gas Stove a truly complete home heating system.
