HeatShift™

Reduce wall temperatures around your fireplace and protect your artwork, electronics, and heat-sensitive materials.

Home > Fireplace Features > Heatshift™

 

Valor’s unique HeatShift™ system transfers convective heat upwards through hidden ducts and directs it back into the room, completely bypassing walls and surface areas around the fireplace. Enjoy the peace of mind that surrounding walls, artwork, electronics and construction materials stay cool and are protected.

Heatshift elevates heat naturally using gravity and Valor product ingenuity—no need to use electricity or a fan.

A raised heat outlet improves convection airflow and circulates air back into the room at a higher elevation, reducing wall temperatures and improving overall performance.

Valor HeatShift™ Installation Options

VERSATILE CONSTRUCTION

Run heat sensitive finishing materials right up to the fireplace surround, including drywall, wood, tile, and stone. Install mantels at a one-to-one ratio of depth to height from the fireplace surround when using HeatShift.

Unlike many competitors’ products in the field, HeatShift uses standard construction techniques that comply with code requirements across North America.

Designed and built in North America, specifically for North American homes.

HEAT MANAGEMENT

HeatShift™ is an ideal feature when adding heat sensitive materials directly above the fireplace, such as a wall-mounted TV. Learn more about the system, as well as how it integrates with other heat management features with your Valor gas fireplace.

MULTI-ZONE HEATING

Looking to heat other areas in your home? Valor's Remote Blower option (1270RBK) provides distribution of heat to other areas of your home such as bedrooms, hallways or utility rooms. We refer to this as multi-zone heating.

The Remote Blower connects directly to both 38" and 48" Front Wall Plenums, moving heat to separate spaces in the home for multi-zone heat management.
