With the prices of gas and oil rising, this is an economical, environmentally sensitive alternative to today's energy needs. Gas Stoves Radiant Heat A gas stove becomes a cheery focal point in any room. Our gas stoves are serious heaters! All stoves are listed as heater rated furnaces with efficiencies exceeding 80%. Gas stoves provide radiant heat in the immediate area and the added benefit of a built-in convection chamber, which circulates room air around the appliance and returns it to your room as heat. Our gas stoves do not require any type of hearth pad in many situations, including wood flooring. They are also approved for close clearances to the back wall. This saves valuable floor space and eliminates the requirement of an expensive non-combustible wall protection.
