Always ensure that the heating capacity of your fireplace should be as per the British Thermal Units. As stated by the Salt River Power Company, heater of a 1-ton (12,000 BTU) capacity can provide sufficient heat for 400 - 500 square feet of living space.

Choose fireplace as per the energy efficiency ratings. As stated by Salt River Power, you should always consider the heater which is having a minimum EER of 13.
