The Advantages to a Gas Fireplace
Perhaps the idea of stacking wood in a fireplace and stoking the embers appeals to you above all else. However, if you’re willing to sacrifice some of the physical appeals of a traditional fireplace, you’ll find that gas fireplaces have much to offer in the way of performance and efficiency.
- Greater Control
- With wood-burning fireplaces, it can be challenging to strike the right balance between too hot or not hot enough. And sometimes, individuals don’t have enough time to mess around with a fireplace to figure out what works best. Conversely, with gas fireplaces, you can control the intensity of the flame with the flip of a switch. Modern gas fireplaces are equipped with “thermostat” options, allowing you to control the heat output.
- Cleaner & Greener
- Although wood is a renewable resource, as compared to gas, burning gas produces fewer toxins and residue than burning wood does. As such, a gas fireplace is both cleaner for your home and the environment. Traditional fireplaces require constant cleaning of ash and soot, while gas fireplaces require no cleaning of that nature. However, it’s crucial to have your gas fireplace inspected and maintained every year to ensure it’s running correctly with no clogs or leaks.
- Flexibility
- A gas fireplace offers you greater flexibility with location and installation. Traditional fireplaces must be built with chimneys. And, if your home doesn’t already have a chimney, it can take quite a bit extra time and money to have one built. However, with or without a chimney, gas fireplaces are much easier to install. You can either place piping or ventilation in an existing chimney structure or install a smaller, ventilation system. Additionally, some gas fireplaces don’t require ventilation at all!
