Get to know Zone Heating

A central furnace cycles on and off several times an hour and heats your entire house - even unoccupied rooms - wasting money. Using a supplemental hearth appliance to heat the rooms your family occupies most, or "zone heating," allows you to turn down the thermostat for the central furnace, decreasing your fuel bill.

The following calculator* can assist you in determining the cost saving benefits of the hearth product that you are considering purchasing, and the best fuel of an appliance.
