Wood fireplace suggestions

[Ajax03]

Hello.
I am building a new construction home and want to install a zero clearance wood burning fireplace. I want to be able to heat the entire 2200 square foot home and be able to utilize a blower and duct work to separate rooms

I will be using this for a primary heat source for about 3-4 months out of year burning 24/7

I prioritize simplicity, reliability, and long burns times

I don’t want to have to spend a fortune on this but understand none of these units are cheap

There seem to be a million options out there, could you help me find the correct option for me?

The size of the fireplace will depend on how well insulated the home is, how tall the ceilings are and how much glass exposure it has. The Pacific Energy FP25 and FP30 would work unless the place is superinsulated. The Valcourt Lafayette II is also a good choice in the 2.5 cu ft range. RSF also makes a good range of EPA fireplaces.

If funds are tight, consider a freestanding stove. It will heat well and will open more options in size and pricing.
