The Ventis HE250R EPA Certified 37" Large Black High-Efficiency Wood Fireplace combines classic fireplace styling with powerful heating performance for medium to large living spaces. Designed primarily as a heating appliance, the HE250R is recommended for areas from approximately 750 to 2,200 square feet and produces up to 80,000 BTU/h when burning dry cordwood. Its 2.5 cubic foot firebox accommodates logs up to 20 inches long and provides burn times of up to 8 hours. A large single cast iron framed door with ceramic glass provides a generous view of the flames, while Ventis distinctive louvers and molded refractory stones create the traditional appearance of a built-in wood fireplace.
EPA 2020 certified non-catalytic combustion technology provides efficient wood burning without the use of a catalytic combustor. The HE250R features a stainless-steel secondary-air system and high-density insulation board baffle to support efficient combustion, achieving an optimum efficiency of up to 70%. With an average particulate emission rate of only 1.2 g/h, the fireplace combines substantial heating capacity with clean-burning performance. An included 176 CFM blower helps distribute heated air throughout the living space for improved comfort and more effective heat circulation.
Designed for a complete high-efficiency fireplace installation, the Ventis HE250R includes a 6-inch Ventis stainless steel anchor plate and fresh air intake adapter. It uses a 6-inch flue outlet and is designed for connection to a compatible 6-inch chimney system. With its 80,000 BTU/h maximum output, up to 8-hour burn time, included blower, molded refractory stones, classic single-door design, and EPA-certified performance, the HE250R is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking the traditional appearance of a wood fireplace with the heating capability of a modern high-efficiency appliance.
