Cheaper? no. a fireplace isn't going to match the efficiency of a furnace. they're designed to provide a little extra warmth, not to function as a main heating source.

If you are trying to heat several rooms with a fireplace, probably will cost more than an efficient central heating system. The heating system will cycle on and off as needed, while the fireplace will run continuous.

Gas fireplace...using humidified air the hot dry air and moist hot air will expand and the temputure will expand leaving a lasting warm temputure throughout the room..
