Most homeowners now favour gas fireplaces above any other type of fireplace. Here are eight reasons why:
- No ashes or wood scraps to clean up
- Turns on with the flick of a switch
- Flames are safely enclosed
- Less pollution: wood-fire home heating is responsible for as much as half of the fine particle emissions associated with human activities.
- No chimney required (or chimney sweeping, chimney inspections or concerns about smoke filling your living room)
- Economical: a natural gas fireplace can save at least 25% on your energy bill
- Heat can be easily regulated (even from your cell phone)
- Installs virtually anywhere in the home
