Ethanol fireplace heat output.
The fireplaces from vauni on average produce 2 5 kw which is quite sufficient for any home.
Our wall mounted ethanol fireplaces come in different heat output capacities to match your heating requirements and the fireplaces in our wall mount collection can provide up to 17 000 btu 5 0kw h.
Do you really need that much heat.
Some ethanol fireplaces come with a really and sometimes too long burner thus making the flames and thereby heat output very large.
It is often the case that higher levels of heatoutput is a undesirable as it will get too hot in the room where the fire is located.
