Save Money on Your Energy Costs
Do you want to bring warmth, safety, and beauty to your family all while saving money? You can have it all with a new hearth appliance! Whether you burn natural gas, propane, pellets or cord wood, today’s appliances are more efficient and are designed to put out more heat than previous generations. Regardless of fuel, most appliances boast up to 80% efficiency, which means a cleaner burn, more heat in your home, and savings on your heating bills all winter long. If you already have a state-of-the-art fireplace, stove or insert, you can save additional money with proper annual maintenance. Our technicians are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Fireplace Institute, and their expertise can help you to make the most of your hearth appliance.
How can a New Fireplace Save Money?
If you have an old open-face wood burning fireplace and want to replace it with something less drafty and more efficient, the best way to seal out the cold and get the most heat into your home would be to update it with an insert. While inserts run on gas, pellets, or cord wood; our most common projects are upgrading old wood burning fireplaces with gas inserts. If you’re not ready to let go of your old fireplace, we can help you stop the draft by replacing the damper, or installing a new set of doors that will help retain heat, save money on energy bills, and modernize the look of your fireplace.
Often hearth appliances are in living rooms or great rooms so you can use zone heating, heating the area where you spend time. This means that the energy you use heating your home is expended where it is needed. Zone heating with super-efficient hearth appliances reduces the heat wasted in unused areas of your home, saving you money on your heating bills.
What Types of Hearth Appliance Can I Use to Heat My Home?
Winters in Colorado are enjoyable when you heat with cord wood. The crackling of the fire and aroma of burning wood is hard to beat. Not only is wood the only renewable fuel for hearth appliances; it is an independent and domestic source of energy, meaning the cost of wood is not influenced by foreign governments or economies. If you’re sourcing your cord wood from your own land and burning it in an EPA-certified woodburner; it can be one of the most efficient and economical ways to heat your home.
If you are tired of chopping and carrying logs or cleaning up ash and soot you’ll love the convenience that comes with a gas fireplace, stove, or insert. Gas fireplaces have the advantage of either remote controlled or thermostat settings keeping you warm. Natural gas and propane are some of the most cost-effective sources of heat for your home by BTU’s. Having a new high-efficiency gas-fueled hearth appliance will pay for itself in the long-term by reducing the amount of fuel required to heat your home.
Another way you can save money on your energy bills is by getting a dryer vent cleaning. The buildup of lint costs extra money by reducing the airflow through the dryer, reducing its efficiency. An inefficient appliance costs more to run than an efficient one. If you notice that your clothes taking longer than normal to dry or that they are still damp when they come out of the dryer, it is probably time to have your dryer vent serviced. Our CSIA certified technicians are specialists that can also clean out your dryer vent when they are there for your annual fireplace service.
