Dodge59 - Valor heating appliance ?s
Comments (8)Glad to be of Service! (Nothing worse than being at the mercy of a salesman)!!! First question, Are you on Natural Gas or LP? It makes a big difference in how low the fire can be turned down (LP can only be turned down about 50%). The model Valor fireplace that I have had (Over 5 years now) is the Valor Horizon Series (534 xan). Styling is called "Valor Classic Collection". See it by visiting the link below. http://valorfireplaces.com/media/pdfs/brochures/Valor_Horizon_Brochure.pdf Here are some of the threads about Valor fireplace that are in Garden Web. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/firepl/msg1019041427827.html http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/firepl/msg0800001523200.html http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/firepl/msg1208372219414.html?10 http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/firepl/msg021447401240.html As you will see from these posts, I'm my "Usual self" (IE quite chattie or should I say "Typie"? But I try to cover "All the bases" as far as info about the Valor. The model I have has been replaced with this one. New Model Horizon 534ILN Go to the link below to see the info on the new model http://www.valorfireplaces.com/media/Horizon%202009/horizon_brochure_web.pdf More that likely You will be told (You don't need a "Fan kit" for the fireplace) I VERY Highly recommend the fan kit!!! We had ours both ways, the whole exterior or the fireplace stays much cooler with the fan (except where the fire is), When it's really a cold morning, the fan blows the heat right between your shoulder blades when ya stand next to the fireplace _that's important to "Senior citizen types"! I think I have "covered all the bases" both here and my previous posts and if you have more questions, you may post them in the fireplace forum (If you like) as I visit that part of GW on a daily basis. Good luck in your hunt, I hope you will be as satisfied with your purchase as we are, )_even after more than 5 years now)! PS Actually it is good you posted about the valor here in the "Appliance Thread". That will keep me too busy to do any more "Creative Writing" about Miele ovens and "Ticking Off" Rococogurl I promise to do better "RG"! Gary...See MoreValor pricing
Comments (3)Here are a couple of sites that show some Valor prices. Like many appliance manuractures these days, It looks like Valor is trying to "Hide the Prices", so it took some "digging" to find these. http://www.vangasfireplaces.com/section.asp?pageid=9361 http://www.cjsfireplaces.com/acatalog/Valor_Portrait_Series___Senator_Front.html We had the Valor fireplace for about 4 years now and love it. It keeps our whole downstairs warm and we rarely turn on our Force Air Furnace, and then only to occasionally heat the master bath upstairs---We will be looking for a fireplace in the Master bedroom / bath, to solve that problem. Anyway, looking at the 2 above web-sites it looks like you are talking around $2500.00 (US), + accessories (they add up fast)! Ours cost $600 to install and that was about 4 years ago, as I mentioned. Good luck on your quest! Gary...See MoreValor Horizon vs. Regency Hz33
Comments (1)I don't like fireplaces because they can be heat losers when in operation. But I do have a Regency wood stove and I use it as our main source of heat in winter, so it's going 24/7 from November until April. I chose the Regency over other comparable brands for two reasons. One, it has a lifetime warranty, and two, I bought it from a LOCAL stove/fireplace shop. That was very important to us just in case we need something. As it turns out after we had the stove for about 5 years, we needed a new door handle. I took the damaged one to the local stove shop where I bought it, showed it to him, he looked up our records and gave me a new handle free of charge....See MoreHelp! What model linear fireplaces can I put TV directly above?
Comments (4)Napoleon makes OK fireplaces, but their efficiencies are terrible. The P4 Energuide efficiencies of their Luxuria Series of linears range from a low of 38.8% to 52.5% Which means that in the case of the LV38N 61% of the gas you pay for is wasted and the best LV74N almost half is wasted. The Valor Linears range from 66 to 70% P4 Energuide efficiencies. The Heat Shift allows TVs and other heat sensitive items above the fireplace as well as combustible wall materials up to the fireplace opening. Here is the Heat Shift Video....See Moreseagreen3
