Valor Gas Fireplaces can use a unique HeatShift ™ system that transfers convective heat upwards through hidden ducts and directs it back into the room, completely bypassing walls and surface areas around the fireplace.
This allows you to enjoy the peace of mind that surrounding walls, artwork, electronics and construction materials stay cool and are protected.
HeatShift ™ elevates heat naturally using gravity and convection – hot air rises. A raised heat outlet improves convection airflow and circulates air back into the room at a higher elevation, reducing wall temperatures and improving overall performance.
How HeatShift ™ works with your Valor Gas Fireplace
- Radiant heat from the firebox warm the people and objects in it’s path in the room
- Convective air rises naturally with HeatShift™, instead of conducting out and heating the wall and surrounds of the fireplace as a traditionally designed fireplace would
- Better heat exchange and superior air flow is created by shifting the hot air outlets higher up the wall, increasing comfort
