Hello all. It’s been a while since I posted on here but have another question. My wife and I will be building a new house next year. It will be a one story ranch style with a cape cod look including 3 dormers. 1800sf 3 beds 2 baths. The main living space will be a large open great room with kitchen and breakfast area included in it. It’s completely open. That being said we are going to have cathedral ceiling in the great room up to 14 feet. Our builder will install a large Fireplace with a 42” North Star fireplace. I’ve researched them and am honestly not impressed but seem to have a decent sized firebox. My question does anyone have input as to if this will give us heat for the whole house? we currently have a drolet 1800i which we love and are hesitant to stray away from an insert especially as there will be minimal radiant heat. Thoughts appreciated!
