Some Differences Between Stoves, Fireplaces And Inserts
Choosing a new heating appliance is a big decision that takes careful consideration. To choose the right appliance for you, you’ll want to weigh your lifestyle, your space, your heating needs, and your aesthetic preferences. Traditional tastes usually draw homeowners toward a fireplace, and if your interest is mainly ambiance and looks, a fireplace might be the ideal choice. If you’re more concerned with heat output, a stove might be your best bet. While modern fireplaces are designed to waste far less heat and fuel than they did in the past, stoves are generally more effective for zone heating. If you don’t have an existing appliance or chimney, new fireplaces or stoves can be installed with a new chimney. If you’re looking to replace a current fireplace, an insert might be your best bet — these are retrofitted into the space your current unit inhabits, and make use of your existing chimney. Fireplaces, stoves and inserts are all made to burn various fuels, and are available in various styles, from classic to modern. We can help you find one that brings the look and function you want!
Some Differences Between Wood, Gas And Pellet Fuels
If you’re primarily looking for convenience, gas- and pellet-burning appliances will be worth looking into. Gas units are easy to use and quick to light (you’ll push a button and enjoy a fire), and don’t require the use-to-use upkeep that you’ll see with a wood-burning unit. You also might be surprised at how realistic gas logs are these days, from the design of the logs themselves to the way the fire envelops them. Pellets are also a highly convenient fuel — a motorized hopper feeds the fuel into the firebox as needed, providing you with a consistent fire that doesn’t take tending. For the homey crackle of a traditional fire, though, nothing really compares to wood. A wood-burning unit does require some work — you’ll have to buy or cut and stack wood, build fires, clean ash — but as a fuel, wood is plentiful and affordable, and it can provide you with a great back-up heating option for when the power goes out in winter storms. We’d love to go over the different options with you, and help you find the ideal appliance and fuel for your home. Give us a call!
