Looking for some feedback on recommended output for a DV gas fireplace. Considering a few models but I am concerned wether they are too hot or not hot enough;
Marquis Cove: 32-40K BTU, 67% efficiency = 21-27K output
Valor H5: 13-28K, 69% = 9-19k output
Enviro Q2: 8-24K, 67% = 5.4-16k output
Going into the corner of a 14'W x 23'D kitchen which has 3 open door/hall openings into living room, sun room and foyer. Total downstair SF is around 1,100.
I like the cove a lot, just concerned the output may blow everyone out of the kitchen. Planning to have a sitting area in front of the fireplace ( approx. 24" clear) with some chairs, coffee table and a love seat so again want it to be comfortable sitting in front of the unit for an hour or so at a time during cold winter months when it will be in use. Also, live in a cold climate (PA).
