For heating a home efficiently, one approach is a rocket mass heater. It does require burning firewood, but if that's an acceptable/desirable quality, this technology seems far more efficient than standard fireplaces.

I have thought about that but it’s a bit too much custom work to add into a passive house.

I might try one in a future garden shed/office.
