All winter long, hundreds of thousands of American homes heat safely with wood stoves, fireplaces and wood stove inserts. Burning wood is not only effective, it’s efficient and comforting. Yet, every year, thousands of other homes suffer serious damage each as a result of fires directly attributed to those same wood-burning appliances and the chimney systems connected to them. What are the differences between these homes and the homes that heat with wood safely, year after year?
What’s Old Is New Again!
Maybe it’s the sensational experience of throwing a log on a crackling fire, or it could be the energy independence and environmental sustainability of burning cut trees. Sometimes it’s the beauty that an updated hearth appliance adds to your home. Maybe it’s the increased efficiency and high heat output of today’s wood burning fireplaces. At Mountain Hearth & Patio, our recent increase in wood burning fireplace installations comes from a combination of all the above.
What Does Spring Mean To You?
Gas Fireplaces – A Convenient Source of Heat for Your Family
In the dead of winter, heat is the key to your comfort. If you’ve ever lugged firewood into your home to keep warm, you know that—for all the cozy ambiance—wood burning can be a labor intensive chore. For some people, this is a labor of love. However, if you have a wood burning fireplace or no fireplace at all and you want to bring a convenient, safe, and beautiful source of warmth to your family; a gas fireplace, stove, or insert could be perfect for you.
