We chose to put a Jetmaster Heat & Glo
6000TRSI gas fireplace in our open plan living area upstairs. It can heat a large open plan area and is the only model that can have the optional heat zone outlet ($549). We thought that this may also safeguard us against power costs for the ActronAir ESP Plus 22kw reverse cycle air conditioning, if it gets out of hand.

In our case we ran the heat zone outlet to the downstairs rumpus room for the kids (directly below). According to our site manager, he's never seen it done (and he has done many a fireplace) - we can only put this down to the additional cost of the vent kit & installation (combined cost was an additional $1100) but we think it's money well spent, given our chilly winters & the ever-increasing cost of gas/electricity.
