A 70% efficiency rate means that 70% of the energy contained in the firewood is
used to warm your home or, in other words, you are able to produce the same
amount of energy with much less firewood.
*in accordance with EC classification standards for insert fires.
A Solzaima 5kW unit with an efficiency rate of 75%, i.e. efficiency class 1, will
consume approximately 3.5 pounds (1.6kg) of firewood per hour to warm a 389
sq ft room (35m
2
).
Typically, a traditional fireplace has an efficiency rate of approximately 10%,
which means it will consume about 26.5 pounds (12kg) of firewood to produce
the same 5kw necessary to warm the same 389 sq ft room (35m
2
).
