Charm and Efficiency Meet in the Jotul GZ550 Acadia Gas Fireplace

Many builders include a gas fireplace in their homes to create that warm, inviting feeling that people want. Your home should be designed for comfort and convenience and experienced builders aim to cover both in the homes they construct. That’s why so many choose the Jotul GZ550 Acadia gas fireplace. The charming and detailed design has universal appeal, while the high efficiency and convenient features are what today’s homeowner demands.
Attractive Design

The Acadia includes the beautiful Cascading Lattice design that makes Jotul stand out from the other manufacturers. Simple and yet absolutely stunning, when this detailing is paired with the Gothic arches that mark nearly every Jotul fireplace and stove model the effect is wonderful. This gas fireplace is not elaborate, just appealing and attractive to allow for the beauty of the flames to shine through.

The cast iron surround is available in three finish colors (Jotul Iron, Matte Black or Blue Black) and is wonderfully offset by the optional antique brick firebox panel. Overall you can be assured that the Acadia will be a striking addition to your living space and will compliment all of your own home decor items.

Efficiency and Convenience

But this model is not all about good looks. There is plenty of substance in the Acadia gas fireplace as well. Providing up to 28,000 BTU’s and boasting a handcrafted ceramic log set, this gas fireplace is everything your family needs to stay warm and cozy all year long.

The Acadia model also comes with Quickface system, designed to create a substantial looking fireplace easily. This front plate is fitted over the direct vent gas fireplace unit to make an instant hearth – simply set a mantle over top and you have the perfect living space. Designed for use with a remote control and/or a wall thermostat, this gas fireplace turns on in an instant and delivers enough warmth to heat up to 1,400 square feet.

No wonder this fireplace is a favorite with builders. It has a simple design with enough details to be elegant and yet not too ornate. Installation is a breeze thanks to direct vent technology and the Quickface system makes it even easier. This unit has all of the features needed to make your living space complete and will work as an excellent supplemental heater. It also works during a power outage. If you’re looking for a simple hearth with plenty of style the Jotul GZ550 Acadia gas fireplace may be just the thing.

Comparing the Jotul Great Diamond Gas Fireplace Insert and the Jotul Little Diamond

No matter the size, diamonds are always strong and beautiful. The same principle applies to the line of Jotul gas fireplace inserts aptly named the Diamond series. Both the smaller Jotul Little Diamond gas fireplace insert and the more expansive Great Diamond model are beautifully designed and deliver strong, dependable performance for years.

Homeowners can enjoy the numerous benefits of this popular design, no matter how large or small their existing fireplace is. Jotul has made sure that the technology, innovative design and attractive styling that consumers love is available in both a smaller model (the Little Diamond – measuring 29” across) and a larger one (the Great Diamond – coming in at 34” in width).

What You Can Count on in Both Models

Both of the Diamond series gas fireplace inserts include the Fire on the Floor design that draws you in. Made to echo a genuine wood burning fire, Jotul has designed the Little Diamond and Great Diamond gas fireplace inserts to display dancing flames amidst a handcrafted ceramic log set close to the floor. Combined with the advanced JotulBurner, this design makes for the ultimate in gas flame realism.

These inserts also come in a clean face design that so many are looking for. Choose from the various attractive fronts and faces and opt for either the cast iron or steel surrounds. Your customized combination will produce a distinctly beautiful fireplace that your whole family can gather around.

Just as with all of the Jotul models, you can count on the excellent coverage of a five year warranty, protecting your investment and delivering peace of mind for the whole family.

What Are the Differences?

Although both models are built on the same foundation of beauty, strength and efficiency that Jotul is famous for, your hearth will likely be better suited with one over the other. It all depends on the size of your existing fireplace.

The Little Diamond gas fireplace insert is designed to fit into smaller hearths – anything from 29 ¼” across and larger. The Great Diamond, on the other hand, requires that your existing hearth be at least 34 ¼” across. If you have a larger fireplace but only need the heating capacity of the Little Diamond, a quality fireplace surround will fit nicely and provide the look and power you need.

The Jotul Little Diamond gas fireplace insert can heat up to 1,300 square feet, making it ideal for your living space or main floor. If whole home heating is your aim, it’s better to choose the Jotul Great Diamond gas fireplace insert. This unit can handle up to 1,700 square feet. If your home is larger it may be better to consider a Jotul wood burning model or install more than one hearth appliance.

Whatever your heating needs and no matter the existing design of your hearth, a Jotul gas fireplace insert from the Diamond collection is a fabulous choice.
