But first, let’s get on the same page…

How are fireplace heat outputs measured?

The amount of heat released by a fireplace is measured in BTU’s or British Thermal Units. A BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 lb. of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit.
To heat a 10 ft. X 10 ft. room with 10 ft. ceilings during the winter requires approximately 15,000 BTU’s and a 20 ft. X 20 ft. room would require approximately 36,000 BTU’s.

NOTE: These are simply guidelines; due to a large variety of conditions consult your local fireplace expert to find the proper BTU’s required for your space.
 

How hot does a gas fireplace get?

Although it varies greatly, Regency’s gas fireplaces typically produce between 20,000 and 48,000 BTU’s, enough to heat an apartment or a mid to large room.

How hot does a wood fireplace get?

The amount of heat produced by a wood fireplace from Regency varies greatly, however, typical units produce between 38,000 and 80,000 BTU’s, enough to heat any sized room.

How hot does an electric fireplace get?

An electric fireplace can produce around 5,000 BTU’s, enough to warm a small room or portion of a larger room.
