Nameplate lists the efficiency at 53.8%. Does this seem low for a direct vent gas fireplace? Thought that was the lower end for a B vent fireplace, and direct vent were in the 70% range.

Good question. I've been wondering how consumers can even check nameplates, as efficiency info doesn't seem easy to find online. Does the efficiency have to be independently tested by a third party lab? I recall HPBA fought to ensure gas fireplaces were listed as decorative, so they would not have to meet efficiency standards. Is that correct?
