Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between gas, wood and pellet freestanding stoves?
Gas stoves offer convenience and clean burning, wood stoves provide a traditional heating experience, and pellet stoves use compressed wood pellets for high-efficiency heating with automatic feeding. Each fuel type has its own benefits in terms of cost, maintenance, and heat output.
How much space can a freestanding stove heat?
Heating capacity varies by model and fuel type, but most freestanding stoves can heat spaces from 800 to over 2,500 square feet. Be sure to choose a stove model rated for the square footage you want to heat for maximum efficiency.
Do freestanding stoves require a chimney or venting?
Yes. Wood stoves typically require a complete chimney system, and gas and pellet stoves need proper venting through a wall or roof. Some gas stoves offer direct vent options, which make installation more flexible.
Are freestanding stoves energy-efficient?
Freestanding stoves are designed for efficient heating. Pellet stoves are among the most efficient (up to 80–90% efficiency), followed by modern EPA-certified wood stoves and gas stoves, which also offer consistent efficiency and thermostat control.
