- Condition: Lightly Used One Season - Type: Heatilator A42C
This is a very nice "Builder's Grade" woodburning fireplace that just looks fantastic. It's "Zero Clearance" design allows the versatility to be framed recessed into a wall, as in our installation, or can be installed inside a room and framed around with wood studs and cement board, or stone, or bricks, or tiles, or any material you can come up with; "Only The sky Is The Limit". Add the wonderful ambiance of the warmth, sight, smell, and sound of a crackling fire to your family room.
This woodburning fireplace was originally purchased "brand-new" in October 2005, and installed in our new home. The stamped production date is June 29, 2005. Even though this fireplace is very beautiful, and has very nice glass doors, it still is an "open" fireplace with great romantic ambiance, but negative heating efficiency. The room the fireplace is in feels nice and toasty warm, but because of the open fireplace draft, most of the heat goes up the chimney. We have decided to purchase another type of fireplace that will also supplement the heating of our home, and are currently looking at the Napoleon High Country and the Fireplace Xtrodinair 44 Elite.
We only used the fireplace our first winter, and enjoyed having many fires, but were disappointed that it didn't really help our heating bill. We contacted Heatilator, and under warranty they sent out a representative who serviced the unit, replacing the rear and bottom refractory panels, installed a new firescreen, and gave us a new wood grate. We were told that we might have had a small chimney fire, but we have not confirmed this, nor have we had the chimney pipe cleaned. Other than the occasional jack-o-lanterns or candles, we decided not to use the fireplace for woodburning fires, to keep it looking brand-new for a new home.
We will be removing the drywall and some framing, and pulling the Heatilator fireplace and chimney pipe out sometime this July 2008, so if you would like to see the fireplace installed in the house before removal, please contact us right away. Otherwise we will be storing the fireplace unit in our garage, until the A42C finds a new home. The fireplace also comes with SL300 double wall, 8 inch, air-cooled chimney venting pipe, and one 4 inch fresh air hose. I am told by a Heatilator representative that the weight of the unit is 200 pounds.
This fireplace can also be used with propane or nature gas log sets, instead of firewood. It even has an access hole in the left side of the unit for a gas line into the fireplace.
Brand-New bottom and rear refractory panels
Brand-New log grate
Brand-New firescreens
The built in circulating fan is designed to pull room air into the fireplace body through the bottom front vent intake, and directs air behind the firebox, and warm air out the upper vent into the room.
This fireplace is designed for small, romantic, ambiance fires, and will not heat your home.
