Good eye if you noticed that there’s already a Heat n Glo SL550 listed on our website. To look at the fireplace, there’s not much to “see” what the differences are between the two models – except the way the fireplace has been displayed, of course. But there is an important difference if you’re looking for efficiency. Most manufacturers make fireplaces in this category of two different types – one is more for decoration – to be a fireplace where the amount of heat isn’t really a consideration. The other type has been tested to tougher furnace standards, so you get better efficiency (approaching 80%), more options and more heat. Shown here is the Heat n Glo SL550TR which generates between 15-thousand BTUs to 21-thousand BTUs, considered to be a moderate level of heat. The SL550TRS is the model with the better flame, an advanced ceramic burner and refractory and the all-important AFUE rating with a range of 18,200 BTUs to 27,300 BTUs. The SL550TRS also has ceramic glass, considered to be a better heat conductor than the more regular tempered glass so you also feel more of the heat in the room. Just wanted you to know the difference.
So you want a grand fireplace as a focal point but you say you don’t have a huge room to put it in? Take a look at Quadra Fire’s QFP38. Eye-catching, no? The QFP44 packs more than 11-hundred square inches of glass to watch the roaring fire – complete with a front flaming coal bed that makes it look like you just stoked the fire. You’re going to get some powerful, efficient heat too. The QFP38 goes from a high of 55-thousand BTUs and turns down all the way to 12-thousand for the right amount of heat at the right time. Four different fronts are available in Black, Hammered Pewter, Vintage Copper and Sienna Bronze.
Dimensions: 48 5/8″ h x 43 3/8″ w x 22 1/2″
