Depending on your house layout and fireplace location, the Comfort Zone may be one room or a complete level or zone. In Fall or Spring, a fireplace may easily provide comfort for the entire home. The amount of BTUs of heat necessary to maintain this Comfort Zone is in the range of 5,000 to 15,000 BTU/hour. This relatively small amount of heat can be very effective, especially when it is constant like a some and not on/off like a furnace. In fact, too large a heat output will overheat your room.

It is completely unnecessary to unplug or remove batteries from the receiver.
