How can I use my gas stove, wood stove, gas fireplace or fireplace insert or other hearth product to reduce my heating bills?
Fireplace Village recommends using a gas stove, wood stove, gas fireplace, wood burning fireplace, fireplace insert or other hearth product to heat rooms that are occupied the most. This will enable you to turn down the thermostat of the furnace, thereby decreasing your fuel bill. Zone heating can provide energy savings of 20-40 percent, according to the American Council for Energy Efficient Economy. By practicing zone heating with gas fireplaces, homeowners heat the room or living area where people spend the most time. This allows them to turn down the thermostat on their central furnace and use the gas fireplace as a supplemental heat source. As the central heating supply, furnaces distribute heat across the entire house including rooms that are not in use. From a financial standpoint, it makes sense to limit the furnace output whenever possible and heat the most frequently used rooms with a gas fireplace.
