Description

The Fireplace Heater was developed to dramatically increase convection heat (hot air) coming from your fireplace. The unique design of this grate heater super heats the air within the exchanger tubes to over 500°F and can produce up to 48,000 BTUs of heat, enough to heat a large room or two. It fits into most smaller or zero-clearance (pre-fab) fireplaces and works without power by converting heat naturally through the tubing and into your home. The tubes are made of heavy aluminized steel and are designed for long life.

Product Note: Please see additional info tab for a list of all dimensions.

The optional blower is capable of producing up to 60,000 BTU's of heat when used with the hearth heater. This blower can be mounted on either the left or right side of your Fireplace Hearth Heater. 5 and 6 tube units have a 2 speed blower (50 CFM - High, 30 CFM - Low). Units with 7 or more tubes have a 148 CFM blower with a variable speed control.

BEFORE YOU BURN: There will be a smell on the first burn as the oil in the tubes will burn off. This is normal. WARNING: If you have birds and animals in the house. They should be removed from the house on the first burn. People that are asthmatic and children should also not be in the area during the first burn.

Works great

"Just what I needed to lower my electric bill thanks very much """"""""GOD"""""""" bless"

Roy B. (5/5)

Exactly what I needed

"Took about 15 minutes per fixture to remove the ballast and do some rewiring. We replaced the lights that are on 24/7 first then started working our way thru the next 300."

Tom H. (3/5)

Well constructed

"Excellent quality. They are very bright and no flicker when the AC blows on them."

Clint M. (3/5)

Good quality. Wasn't a perfect fit but definitely worked. I would recommend it.

"I received these 4 ft. LED tubes only one week after i placed the order. I rewired my fixture and removed the ballast (very easy to do) and the tubes fit perfectly and lit up just like they should. The light is bright and we like the color temperature of the 4000K - not too white. I'd recommend these tubes and Lightup. com if you are looking for LED bulbs."

Richard U. (4/5)

Very nice cap. Looks well built.

"Saw an article in Family Handyman discussing ballast bypass/direct wire LEDs. Immediately ordered 12 bulbs from LightUp. It was easy(10 to 15 minutes each) to rewire the fixtures to bypass the old ballast, repurposing the original wires, and install the new bulbs. As bright or brighter than the old F40, T12 bulbs, and will work no matter how cold it gets in the garage in the Winter. Also LightUp was much less expensive than the typical bulb prices quoted in the magazine article. I am happy!"
