    Make and Model?

    If it has a glass bi-fold doors I am guessing it is either a prefab ZC wood box, or the wood box with a gas log in it.

    Neither of these types of fireplaces are designed to put out heat, they are decorative fireplaces.

    I've just talked to people in HVAC class and found out that my fireplace is just for look. They told me that I need a wood stove insert, did a little research and found out that is what I need to heat up the house
