Grate heaters are an alternative to the conventional fireplace grate that we highly recommend. While much more costly than a typical fireplace grate, the grate heater can pay for itself quickly from the heat it produces back into the room. There are various types of these heat exchangers but the basic principle is the same. The hollow tubing gets hot from the fire and a fan blows heat through the hollow tubes into the room. Some are thermostatically controlled so the fan turns on and off automatically once the tubing gets hot. You can expect to get 10,000 to 40,000 BTU's of heat back into your home from these units which is enough to heat a large room and other parts of the home.Note: To determine the size grate you need, measure both the front and rear widths of your fireplace and then choose from our selection to find the correct size to fit your fireplace.
