Reasons Supporting Gas Fireplaces
Fueled by gas, these convenient fireplaces and stoves appear like wood-burners but will not all require chimneys.
Dancing yellow fire, instant heat, environmental appropriateness, as well as ease of operation are many of the benefits with the fastest-growing segment of fireplace products: natural gas- or propane-burning fireplaces and stoves.
They will look like their wood-burning relatives and in some cases contain ceramic "log sets" and embers that look like burning wood.
Nevertheless, these types of fireplaces do not necessitate you to cut, stack, and load wood, or sweep out ashes.
They could be turned on with the flick of a switch, a handy remote control, or a preset thermostat.
And energy costs less per "fire" than cut-and-dried fire wood.
Gas-burning fireplaces and stoves fix the problem of very poor wintertime atmosphere quality that has forced many Western regions to ban the building of open, wood-burning fireplaces and woodstoves, or maybe limit their use.
There's no smoke, since gas burns significantly cleaner than real wood and produces virtually no particulate matter.
(Propane is similar to natural gas although burns hotter and needs different-size orifices.
) The best of these innovative gas fireplaces are "zone heating appliances," that have the energy efficiency of bigger gas-fired furnaces used to heat complete homes.
Area heating appliances make sense if you are planning to add a family space or remodel existing areas.
One Canadian organization, RSF Energy, not long ago announced a fire place known as the Panorama which may do away with the concept of the central heater.
The Panorama uses a system of built-in, thermostatically governed ducts which run from the fireplace to different rooms in a house as big as 1, 600 sq feet.
You can also take this idea a measure further using a device from Heat-N-Glo which contains a small air conditioner along with an energy-efficient gas fireplace.
It can heat or cool a space as big as 300 square feet.
A few versions can be vented straight through walls, removing the need for a chimney.
This frees homeowners to put a unit inside an interior wall, construct one into a peninsula, or even put one in the center of a floor just like a coffee table.
All that shows outside would be a duct that's slightly bigger than an outlet for a clothes dryer.
