Instead of using wood in your fireplace, why not use a gas fireplace insert? This is an object that you can insert in a pre-installed fireplace and can provide you with warmth and also gives you the soothing effects of flickering flames which you can see in burning woods. However, you might still be having some second thoughts if you are going to buy one for your fireplace or just have your existing fireplace renovated. To help you decide, here are some of the benefits that you can get from gas fireplace inserts.
o Installing a gas fireplace insert is much cheaper and easier than renovating your fireplace. All you need to do is to buy one from some shops that sell such products and hire a professional who can do the job for you. You can also install it yourself as long as you know what you are doing and you follow all instructions to a tee.
o It is easier to clean your fireplace if you only have a gas FP insert than if you are using logs. Imagine the amount of ashes and soot produced by burning wood and the energy and time you have to spend to clean your fireplace. Just thinking about it will make you want to run to your nearby home improvement store to buy a gas FP insert.
o They are also very efficient. You have a fireplace at home for one basic purpose-that is to keep you warm during winter. Traditional fireplaces that burn wood only give you around 10% heat and the rest goes up the chimney. On the other hand, gas fireplace inserts give you around 90% warm air, with only a small percentage escaping outside through the chimney.
These are just some of the benefits of gas FP inserts and after reading them, you probably want to buy one for yourself. Here are some gas fireplace insert buying tips.
o This type of insert needs venting. Check the venting available in your masonry fireplace and choose the appropriate gas fireplace insert based on that detail. You can choose among different venting such as B venting, indirect venting, and direct venting. Select the best one for your fireplace.
o Learn how to identify inserts that are efficient because this can save you a whole lot of energy which in turn can save you a lot of money. As you probably know, if the gas fireplace insert is cost-efficient, it will require less fuel. Cost-efficient fireplace inserts are generally more expensive but you will save more money in the long run.
o You can choose from an array of different gas FP insert designs that will match your room's theme. You can choose traditional ones that will complement a traditional fireplace with mantel or a contemporary design that will match sleek modern fireplace in urban homes. Do not choose something that will completely be in contrast with your room décor.
Gas fireplace inserts will give any room a cozy and warm atmosphere that will be great for your whole family especially in those cold winter days and nights.
