heating efficiency
editYou can omit the part about heating efficiency. A Rumford fireplace might be a step up from an open fire, and a step up from old chimneys, but by todays standards they're not considered efficient; they have high emissions and high heat losses.
Some goverment entities, like the S.F. Bay Area air resources board, will fine you for operating a fireplace, esp its a spare the air day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.149.61 (talk) 14:25, 2010 December 19 (UTC)
