Are You an HVAC Genius or Just Cool by Association?
Is it true or false that using a fireplace can reduce the load on your heater?

Correct Incorrect This is true. Running a fireplace will help heat up a room or area quickly, and it means less work for your heater to handle. Why not throw a log in the fire every now and then? Be sure to control the airflow from other areas of the house, though, to increase efficiency.
