Many gas fireplaces give off a significant amount of heat. There are decorative and heater rated gas fireplaces. Heater rated gas fireplaces can be operated with a thermostat. Most gas fireplaces have a range of 11,000 to 40,000 btu input, at about 70% efficiency, capable of heating up to 1,000 sq/ft. in the average home.
