What Valor Gas Fireplace Models Do You Have?
Great question. While we love ‘em all, here are some of our favorite models that we’ve installed in local residences over the years:
Valor H6 Gas Fireplace
The H6 is great for those looking for a larger fireplace that will provide a clear view of the fire. The H6 keeps you comfortable with its secondary heat exchanger, which circulates heat out into your room evenly and steadily. Choose from murano glass and plain black liners, traditional logs and herringbone liners, traditional logs and red brick liners, traditional logs and fluted black liners, and more. With a 71% Energuide rating, you can finally enjoy a warm, comforting fire, without the guilt. Great for indoor or outdoor use.
Valor H5 Gas Fireplace
The H5 gas fireplace, like the H6, is a large fireplace (approved for indoor or outdoor use) that promises great heat and great efficiency. Enjoy radiant warmth and customize your fire bed with murano, decorative glass, traditional logs, or pebble beach driftwood. Beautiful flames, glowing embers, a beautiful, uninterrupted view of the fire? You get it all with the H5. Choose from driftwood and herringbone liner, driftwood and plain black liner, traditional logs and red brick liner, traditional logs and fluted black liner, and more.
Valor H4 Gas Fireplace
The H4 is a medium-sized fireplace that’s indoor- and outdoor-compatible and highly efficient. This four-sided fireplace can be installed in a wall, so you don’t have to have a traditional hearth. You can customize your fireplace by choosing decorative rocks, driftwood, or traditional logs, as well as your preferred backing plate and bezel surrounds.
Valor H3 Gas Fireplace
The H3 is another medium-sized fireplace that’s indoor- and outdoor-compatible and highly efficient. What makes the H3 so great? Well, for one, it’s slim and can be easily installed in new construction or in place of an old, outdated fireplace. Choose between three fuel beds, seven different liner options, four surround options, and birch logs, driftwood, traditional logs, and more for a truly custom look.
Valor Horizon Gas Fireplace
The Horizon is a great option for homeowners looking for a highly efficient, indoor- and outdoor-compatible, medium-sized fireplace. A perk of the Horizon is that it can be installed just about anywhere, thanks to its rear and top vent application options. Choose from driftwood and fluted black liner, logs and fluted black liner, decorative rocks and fluted black liner, logs and red brick liner, and more.
Valor Portrait ZC Gas Fireplace
If you’re worried about spacing and installation, consider the Portrait zero clearance fireplace. This small fireplace is indoor- and outdoor-compatible, highly efficient, and powerful. Don’t let spacing, insulation, or design layout prevent you from enjoying a fireplace in your favorite spot — with the Portrait ZC, you can have exactly what you want, exactly where you want it.
Valor L3 Linear Gas Fireplace
Looking for a wide view option? Consider the L3 linear gas fireplace, an indoor- and outdoor-compatible option that’s highly efficient. This gas fireplace is the largest linear fireplace Valor offers, and it provides that stunning look many homeowners are looking for. Plus, with the HeatShift System® option, you can keep TVs or any other nearby valuables protected against the heat of the fireplace for greater installation options. Choose from murano glass and reflective glass liner and driftwood and fluted black liner options.
Valor L2 Linear Gas Fireplace
The L2 is a medium-sized linear gas fireplace approved for use both indoors and outdoors. Highly efficient, HeatShift System® supporting, and boasting a 50″ viewing area, it’s easy to see why homeowners love the L2. Choose from rock and shale and reflective glass liner, murano and fluted black liner, driftwood and fluted black liner, splitwood and fluted black liner, and more.
Valor Linear L1 See-Thru Gas Fireplace
Trying to figure out what would connect your living spaces with style? Consider the L1 see-thru gas fireplace. This widescreen option is great for connecting two spaces and adding warmth to both. It also supports the HeatShift System®, so you can protect those nearby areas that can’t take the heat.
Valor L1 Linear Gas Fireplace
The L1 linear fireplace is indoor- and outdoor-compatible, highly efficient, and supports the HeatShift System®. With the L1, you’ll enjoy that wide view you love, the radiant heat you crave, and a beautiful flame that can’t be beat. Choose from driftwood and fluted black liner, rock and shale and fluted black liner, decorative glass and reflective glass liner, and more.
Valor Multi-Sided Lx2 Gas Fireplace

Valor Multi-Sided Lx1 Gas Fireplace
The Lx1 is a multi-sided fireplace that fits smaller spaces than the Lx2. It’s great for connecting rooms or transitioning from one space to another with style and beauty. Radiant heat, a large viewing area, reduced wall temperatures, high efficiency, and log options (driftwood logs, birch logs, rock and shale) are just a few reasons to love the Lx1.
What’s the Difference Between a Modern Gas Fireplace and One That Is More Traditional?
When shopping for a heating appliance for your home, the first battle is determining which specific product best suits the needs of your home, family, and lifestyle. Once that’s been decided, and you’ve figured out your ideal fuel type, the real fun begins: style presentation and aesthetics.
Are you looking for something with strong and striking lines and angles with a bunch of different customization options, or are you after a cozy, classical vibe? One of the biggest and most enticing elements of gas fireplaces – and Valor gas fires specifically – is the wide range of style options that allow homeowners to truly choose the perfect appliance for their lifestyle and design preferences.
In terms of the difference between modern and traditional gas fireplaces, there really are none – at least when it comes to the physical operation and function. Both utilize a gas connection to facilitate beautiful flames. What categorizes one unit as “traditional” or “classic” and another as “contemporary” or “modern” lies in the model’s appearance:
- Traditional gas fireplaces: Typically, gas fireplaces labeled as traditional will feature elements commonly seen in masonry or wood-burning setups: ceramic or some other refractory material-made logs, a mantle, and even firebox panels that resemble classic bricks. These types of gas fireplaces are an excellent choice for those interested in obtaining a hearth that imitates the look and feel of a wood-burning system, with the unmatched benefit of increased efficiency and heat production.
- Contemporary gas fireplaces: Alternatively, gas fireplaces that are on more of the modern side of things can vary quite a bit. Some models utilize gas logs designed to look like different kinds of trees, while others feature different refractory media and may host flames on a bed of rocks, stones, or glass beads. Modern gas fireplaces usually have a handful of different customization options and new-age viewing capabilities, too. Unlike their traditional counterparts, appliances that fall under this contemporary category could never be mistaken for a wood-burning system…they make a statement in their own right!

How Does a Fireplace Insert Increase Heat Production & General System Efficiency?
For as beautiful and enjoyable as traditional wood-burning fireplaces can be, the truth is that they are just not great at creating enough heat to warm the room, let alone the whole house. And while an insert still might not be able to take on the heating needs of an entire home, it certainly goes a long way in boosting the radiant heat you can expect from a fireplace.
Because of their enclosed design and the materials used during construction, inserts are able to more effectively distribute heat throughout the space, without a majority being lost up the chimney. Inserts are also great because they utilize your already existing fireplace – chimney and all! Sure, some specifications will need to be looked over and your liner will likely need to be exchanged for one that is compatible with the type and size of your new gas insert, but in general, inserts are the perfect way to give an old fireplace a new life.
What Valor Gas Stoves Can I Choose From at Owens Chimney?
If you’re looking for something with a bit more “oomph” in terms of presentation and performance, you might enjoy a Valor gas stove. With different choices in size and style, Valor’s gas stoves are hard to beat.
Valor Madrona Stove
The Madrona stove is a medium-sized gas stove that packs a punch in terms of efficiency and warmth. Choose from arched, square, or contemporary styles and traditional logs, driftwood, splitwood, and more for a stove that’s truly the perfect addition to your space. Convected, radiant warmth and energy savings are yours with the Madrona.
Valor Portrait Stove
Need a smaller stove for your space that can be either top- or rear-vented? Consider the portrait stove series from Valor. These highly efficient stoves are freestanding and extend just over a foot into the room for heat and charm in just about any space. You don’t need much space to enjoy this stove. Oh, and you’ll love the solid cast iron craftsmanship. Choose from coals and red brick liner, logs and red brick liner, president casting detail, and more.
Is a Gas Stove an Effective Way To Heat My Home?
Absolutely. In fact, when it comes to flame-producing heating appliances, gas stoves are one of the best and most efficient ways to heat a space. And, unlike some of their other fireplace and insert counterparts, gas stoves are known for their ability to heat quite a large surface area. Plus, thanks to their construction and freestanding design, these products have quite the range of options when it comes to placement within your home.
