Gas Fireplace Inserts Burn Clean And Save Money

By Tracy T. Parrish


The coziness of a wood-burning fireplace on a cold winter's night attracts us all, but gas fireplace inserts can produce the same warmth and charm, without the far-reaching costs. Today's gas inserts can be installed into a pre-existing hearth in no time, and the benefits they provide are many.

Most older homes were built to be heated solely by a wood-burning fireplace, but times have changed since then. An outdated fireplace, when converted into a natural gas one, will result in energy efficiency, lowered heating costs, pollution reduction, and improve a home's value.

Old masonry fireplaces are notable for being dirty and drafty, allowing precious heat to escape up the chimney. Gas units produce a cleaner heat that stays inside the house where it belongs. Alternate heat sources in a house can even be turned off, if desired, while the insert adequately heats a large area. Switching to a better way of heating, by using less natural resources, saves both energy and the environment.

A cord of wood can be expensive, and installation of a gas insert is a one-time expense. You can also adjust the intensity of heat flowing into a room, which is a lot easier than stoking logs, which means you can personally regulate the amount of energy you are using. By relying on a gas insert as your primary heat source, you will probably see a decrease in your utility bill.

Natural gas burns a lot cleaner than wood, and does not produce ash, soot, or harmful gases. Indoor pollution can be just as harmful as outdoor air, and burning natural gas instead of wood minimizes pollution to almost none. The potential fire hazard caused by soot build-up inside a chimney does not occur with natural gas. A change of fuel from wood to natural gas will promote a safer, cleaner, and healthier environment for all.

Whatever the period or decor of your home is, there is a gas insert available that will fit the bill. Styles range from traditional to contemporary, and all include an arrangement of logs that look like the real thing. The installation of an insert in your home will surely bring compliments from guests, but it will also add to your home's worth.

If you are looking for a way to save energy and money, and you would appreciate a cleaner home and environment, then gas fireplace inserts are a wise choice. No more sweeping out ashes or wrestling with logs, just sit back and enjoy your new fireplace.
