- EnerChoice is reserved for those fireplaces that are considered ‘most heat efficient’ in their category (as determined by a joint government, utility and industry committee).
- The categories include fireplaces, fireplace inserts or free standing appliances.
- The EnerGuide label provides an FE number – the higher the number, the greater the efficiency. This is a comparative tool and allows you to compare one appliance to another.
- Higher-efficiency equipment saves money and energy in the long run. The actual savings depends on local climate, the cost of fuel, the efficiency of the appliance and the efficiency of the dwelling itself
- Every make and model has an EnerGuide rating except for gas logs.
- Product selection should be determined by the heat output(not input) of the fireplace.
