The millivolt valve keeps the whole system independent of household power, remotes and thermostats included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe honest sizing rule matters most at this output: roughly 50 cubic feet of room volume per 1,000 BTU\/hr means the 36 wants a genuinely open-plan space at full fire.
