Who It’s For

Long, cold winters call for a fireplace that heats the house, not just one that looks good. You want real wood heat with an overnight burn. The Valcourt Waterloo is made for that. Pick a decorative firebox and you get the look without the heat.

What Makes It Special

The largest model in Valcourt’s high-efficiency series, the Waterloo hides a firebox that holds a very large load of wood behind large double glass doors, to heat large spaces and burn up to 11 hours on a single load.

Its patented smart air control closes the second primary air damper and adjusts the secondary air on its own once the fire reaches its best combustion temperature. This version wears the crown faceplate.

High-efficiency wood fireplaces make a lot of heat, often more than one room needs. Valcourt’s forced air kit uses a wall thermostat and blower to send excess heat to a room up to 50 feet away.

Valcourt backs it with a limited lifetime warranty on the combustion chamber welds, the ceramic glass, the castings, and the plating.

Possible Downsides

• It is a wood fire. You load it, tend it, and carry out the ash.
• Faceplate parts are required choices. Your dealer helps you pick them.

If you want clean, efficient wood heat from a fireplace built in Canada, the Valcourt Waterloo is the right decision. On the coldest night, the house is warm and the fire is the reason.

Choose the crown faceplate and classic molded brick panels (required), and add the forced air kit, the modern warm air circulation grille, and ROBAX NightFlame glass.
