VENTLESS PROPANE FIREPLACE
A ventless propane gas fireplace is one of those modern marvels that are
a true joy to have in your home. That’s because a ventless propane
gas fireplace offers the look of a traditional fireplace, but the advantage
of an alternative fuel source.
A ventless gas log fireplace may be one of the best purchases you’ll
ever make for your home.
A Viable Alternative for Cold Winter Months
A number of people nowadays are heating their homes with a portable ventless
fireplace. With so many concerns being raised about chemical emissions,
a ventless gas fireplace insert simply makes sense. Meanwhile, the popularity
of propane heaters has boosted the propane tank business.
In the past, propane heaters were primarily sold to farmers to use
in barns and shops. But today, they’re also being bought by rural
homeowners who want an inexpensive, relatively problem-free way of heating
their houses.
Most Popular Models
The most popular of the new generation of fireplaces have thermostatically-controlled
fans and remote controls. A number of homeowners buy propane fireplaces
to replace wood-burning ones. They recognize that wood fires require a great
deal of work, and that you can’t escape the “campfire”
smell of burning wood. Also, wood fireplaces may not be able to produce
as much heat as propane models.
The Secret of Ventless Fireplaces
The real secret of ventless fireplaces and stoves lies in their 99.9 percent
fuel-burning efficiency. You can also find a range of sizes to choose from,
from models of 5,000 BTUs which can heat a small room to 40,000 BTU powerhouses
that can heat an entire house.
Other Factors to Consider
Of course, there are a number of other factors to consider when choosing
a fireplace. For instance, you’ll want a fireplace that reflects
your individual style and taste. You’ll want one that goes well
with the rest of the room. And you’ll want to make sure that it’s
easy to buy replacement parts, in case one of your fireplace parts goes
bad. But, because fireplaces are so captivating, chances are that, once
you have one in your home, you’ll never want to give it up.
