Buyers Guide
Picking the right fireplace is quite hassle for some people that there are no knowledge about fireplace. We here at Fireplace Delivered will share the guide on how to identified the right fireplace for your lovely home.
If you choose to install a fireplace for the simple pleasure of it, choose a hearth that offers a nice view of the fire. A glass model, for example, will allow you and your guests to be in direct contact with the fire. In this case, the need for a strong fire that provides large spatial heat is less important.
As for using the fireplace for additional heating, you’ll most likely want to use wood as fuel because it’s the least expensive fuel on the market. However, other options exist if the economic side of choosing a fireplace isn’t your first concern—as you will probably only use the fireplace throughout the winter season.
When selecting a fireplace as the main heating unit for a room, consider value for money. As noted earlier, wood is the least expensive fuel on the market. In the case of a power failure, as a wood-based fireplace doesn’t require electricity, the fire will continue burning.
Whatever your reason for selecting a fireplace, it will never act as a central heating unit and will not distribute heat to all the rooms in a building. A fire also demands attention. It takes time to handle the wood, store the logs and feed the fire regularly.
- Wood burning: More efficient if equipped with a dual combustion system: the gases released when the logs burn up are reignited for complete combustion, providing more heat with less wood (reaching a yield of more than 75%), while limiting emissions. Gas: The gas fireplace consists of a fireplace connected to a duct, and it works thanks to gas. It is not embedded in the wall as a real wood fireplace. Contrary to the gas stove which resembles a stove, many manufacturers distinguish the gas fireplace by giving it the form of a conventional fireplace.
- Bioethanol: Considered the perfect solution to reduce electricity bills during cold weather, this type of fireplace is portable, fast-burning, cleaner with minimal maintenance, efficient and does not require a professional installation. There is also no heat loss, smoke or odor.
- Electric: An electric fireplace is a device that warms the interior of a room while optimizing its decoration through flames, mimicking that of real fires. Its use is secure because it does not emit smoke or toxic gas. It does not require any special maintenance either.
