Create a Cozy Atmosphere with a Wood Burning Fireplace

Wood burning hearth appliances are perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere in your living space. The smell of burning wood and the sound of crackles and pops of the fire make sentimental moments all the more poignant. But, modern wood burners aren’t just for aesthetics. They serve as a source of heat too. Modern wood burners are hyperefficient, providing long-lasting heat and upgrading a modern wood burner is great for the environment too. In fact, wood burning fireplaces, stoves, and inserts are required to be certified by the EPA to meet certain efficiency standards.
Wood burning fireplaces are designed to be framed into your wall. In fact, you can even have the ambiance of a fireplace in a room where there never was one before. Wood fireplaces put out an incredible amount of heat. These modern efficient appliances are fit for your home and come in a variety of styles. You can choose from a variety of doors and other accessories to make your wood burning fireplace uniquely your own.

Inserts that burn wood have many of the same characteristics as wood burning fireplaces. These appliances are modern and highly efficient heaters that will keep you warm and can be customized to fit your style. Inserts are designed to go into an existing traditional masonry or factory-built fireplace and can turn an old, outdated drafty appliance into a modern highly-efficient heater.

Wood stoves are freestanding hearth appliances designed to be highly efficient heaters for your living space. These appliances are made from one of three materials, chosen for their heating characteristics: steel, cast iron, or soapstone. Steel stoves heat up and cool down quickly, heating the room as long as the fire burns. Cast iron stoves heat up a little more slowly and continue to radiate heat for a while after the fire dies down and are available in a range of colors. Soap stone stoves take the longest to heat up but radiate heat into the room for long after the fire has died.
Enjoy the flickering ambiance and convenience of a gas hearth appliance
Gas burning appliances bring an added touch of convenience to the comfort and warmth provided by modern fireplaces. These hearth appliances have all the ambiance and atmosphere of wood burners with the added touch of an instant start and thermostat control. Gas appliances are also highly customizable, with various options to create the aesthetic you want for your living space. With contemporary and traditional options to choose from, you can have exactly the fireplace your family’s needs.

Gas fireplaces, like wood fireplaces, are designed to be framed into new construction or put where there was never a fireplace before. These hearth appliances are powerful heaters that can serve as an aesthetic feature in your home. Gas fireplaces have the most customization options with different fronts, logs, burner media, and refractory panels to choose from to create the perfect look for your space.

Gas inserts are also very customizable with many of the same aesthetic options that you find in fireplaces. These appliances are a great option for upgrading an older fireplace for looks, convenience, efficiency, and heat. They’ll put a stop to drafts and introduce new heat to your room and can transform the look of your existing fireplace. All while being fully customized to suit your style.
Gas stoves are freestanding appliances. With gas, you have the option of either a cast iron or steel stove chosen for the same heating characteristics as with wood. Cast iron stoves, both wood and gas, can be customized with enamel finishes in a variety of colors to choose from. These stoves are great heaters and bring the convenience of gas usually with the classic look of a wood stove.
Annual Service on Your Fireplace Will Keep You Safe and Warm
Gas and wood burning hearth appliances require annual service. This service ensures that your fireplace, stove, or insert functions at peak performance every year, maximizing your home efficiency and keeping your fireplace looking pristine. Wood burners also produce creosote, a black tar-like substance that is a fire hazard when allowed to build up. This substance is also acidic and can degrade your chimney over time if not adequately addressed. Creosote must be removed during an annual sweeping and inspection. Gas fireplaces require cleaning and inspections on an annual basis to refresh the burner media, clean the glass and refractory panels, and check the functions and operation of all electronic components of the fireplace.
