These innovation solutions provide an easy way to ensure the warmth from your fireplace reaches every multiple rooms.

In this article, we'll explore how Napoleon's Heat Management Systems work and the benefits of adding one to your home.

What are Heat Management Systems? 

By upgrading your fireplace with a Heat Management system, you can install a television, art, and electronics close to your fireplace with no safety risks.  

You’ll also be able to improve heat circulation in large spaces and direct the heat to other areas of your home, like bedrooms and offices.  

It’s an easy and effective way to keep your home cozy throughout the colder months and save on utility costs.   

Napoleon offers six different heat management systems, including:  

• Linear Hot Air Distribution Kit  
• Universal Heat Management 
• Dynamic Heat Control 
• Dynamic Heat Control Plus 
• Ducted Heat Management 
• Internal Blower 

The best system for your home depends on the fireplace you decide to purchase. Napoleon carries a variety of fireplace collections, each compatible with specific heat management systems.

The LHAD system improves heat circulation in homes with gas fireplaces. This kit distributes the warm air from your fireplace to different areas of the house, even separate rooms such as bedrooms, offices, and bathrooms.  

The system also helps reduce heat buildup around your fireplace, protecting nearby electronics and decor. It’s a popular choice for those who want to extend the use of their fireplaces beyond the main room where they are located. 

Napoleon’s UHM/UHMF system circulates the warm air from your fireplace around the room, rather than blowing the heat in one spot.  

This system is whisper-quiet and doesn’t require electricity or blowers to work. It uses a set of ducts to capture the heat from your fireplace and channels it to multiple locations through vents, providing more consistent and widespread comfort.  

The UHM/UHMF system also helps reduce heat loss and lowers clearances for combustibles, allowing you to safely install electronics and decor directly above your fireplace.   

With the DHC system, you can completely integrate a fireplace into a newly built space with true zero clearance to combustibles.  

The system features an air outlet opening at the top of your fireplace enclosure. Warm air travels up the enclosure and escapes through the outlet and into the room, reducing the temperature around the fireplace. This allows you to safely install a TV, artwork, electronics, and custom finishing materials around your fireplace.  

The DHC system doesn’t require ducting, fans, or power, making it an easy and cost-effective solution for every home. 

The DHC+ system is an add-on to Napoleon's Dynamic Heat Control (DHC) system. This system directs heat to other areas of your home or to the outside.  

Quiet as a bathroom fan, the DHC+ is installed on the exterior wall of your fireplace enclosure and doesn’t require ducting, venting, or a bulkhead.  

While the DHC+ system needs electricity to operate, it will continue to manage the heat inside your home in the event of a power outage. 

Napoleon’s DHM system offers the most flexibility for fireplaces with front venting, side venting, and off-the-side termination. It redirects the heat away from your fireplace and out into the room, creating a true zero clearance to combustibles, like electronics and artwork. 

This system doesn’t require fans or a blower, making it perfect for quiet, relaxing evenings at home.   

Napoleon’s Internal Blower is mounted inside of your fireplace to help circulate heat around the room. It’s an excellent way to warm a large space and reduce your utility costs.
