Kozy Heat Nordik 36DV Gas Fireplace
AUTHORIZED DEALER The Kozy Heat Nordik 36DV is a 36-inch direct-vent gas fireplace built around Kozy Heat's signature EVO Elevated Burner technology — a proprietary burner system that projects flame around two signature logs rather than along the firebox floor, producing the depth and height of a real wood fire. With 35,000 BTU/hr input, efficiency up to 74%, electronic ignition, and a clean Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic, the Nordik 36DV is engineered as a primary or supplemental heat source for living rooms, bedrooms, dens, and finished basements — designed for homes where the fireplace serves as both heating element and architectural focal point.
What Makes the Nordik 36DV Different?
Traditional gas fireplaces use burners mounted along the firebox floor, producing flames that rise straight up between or in front of decorative logs. The result reads as "two-dimensional" — flame in front of logs rather than around them. Kozy Heat's EVO Elevated Burner system mounts the burners higher in the firebox so flames project along and around the perimeter of the logs. The visual effect is closer to a wood-burning fire: flame depth on multiple planes, dancing around three-dimensional logs rather than rising in flat ribbons.
Beyond the burner technology, the Nordik 36DV ships standard with the comfort and convenience features that distinguish a daily-use heating fireplace from a decorative-only unit:
- Electronic Ignition Pilot System (IPI) — lights on demand instead of running a continuous standing pilot; saves gas over the heating season
- Ceramic glass — withstands higher operating temperatures than tempered glass; preserves clarity over years of heat cycling
- Standard fan kit — circulates heated air into the room rather than letting it pool at the ceiling
- Standard ember light kit — illuminates the ember bed even when the fireplace isn't running, for ambient glow
- Standard top light kit — adds warm overhead lighting inside the firebox
- Scandinavian aesthetic — clean lines and functional design that integrates into traditional, transitional, or modern interiors without dominating the space

Kozy Heat Gas Fireplace FAQs
What makes Kozy Heat gas fireplaces different from wood fireplaces?
Gas fireplaces offer easier operation, less mess, and more consistent control than a traditional wood-burning fireplace. There is no wood hauling, ash cleanup, or manual fire starting.
What is a direct vent gas fireplace?
A direct vent fireplace draws combustion air from outside and vents exhaust outdoors. This makes it a popular choice for modern installations.
Can I install a Kozy Heat gas fireplace in a room without a chimney?
Often, yes. Many direct vent gas fireplaces can be installed without a masonry chimney, but installation depends on vent routing, clearances, local code, and the selected model.
Are Kozy Heat gas fireplaces for heat or decoration?
Both. Many homeowners choose them for supplemental heat, while others use them as a design centerpiece with realistic flames and decorative media.
Can I choose between traditional and modern styles?
Yes. Kozy Heat offers traditional log-style fireplaces as well as modern linear and contemporary designs.
Should I choose a gas fireplace or gas insert?
Choose a gas insert if you already have an existing wood-burning fireplace you want to convert. Choose a gas fireplace if you are building a new fireplace location or replacing a full fireplace system.
