Valor Windsor Arch Insert
A propane fireplace or insert provides a fantastic source of alternate heat during a power outage and raises the value of your home. No more wood mess and work! Thermostat control, remote control and WIFI integration – not only are propane fireplaces efficient, but they are also SMART!
A Propane fireplace provides instant heat and doesn’t require kindling, constant monitoring, or chimney cleaning. Due to the utilization of fresh air intake from the outside, propane fireplaces burn so efficiently they are direct vented through your exterior walls. MacGillivray Fuels can also line your existing flue for venting for air intake and exhaust through your roof.
