Throughout the fall and winter, having a living room or family room fireplace adds not only ambiance to the room, but extra space heating. A fireplace is typically the decor focal point and makes the room look attractive and inviting. So, if this season you are ready to install a fireplace we've got some reasons why propane is a great choice.
Did you know that a propane fireplace has up to six times the heating capacity of wood fireplaces? And this is achieved without the drawbacks of smoke, continuous maintenance such as cleaning up soot and ash, and the need to store heaps of firewood.
The Canadian Propane Association has listed these important benefits of a propane fireplace:
- 90% combustion efficiency
- Uniform ambient temperature
- Automatic temperature control
- Low operating cost
- Produce fewer particles than wood
- Automatic start
- Easy installation
Different types of combustion beds can be used (glass, stones and rocks, wood and split wood) to create the desired atmosphere." source: CPA website
For many homeowners in rural areas that are already using propane to heat their home, adding in a propane fireplace and other propane appliances makes perfect sense. One of the advantages of propane for residential use it its versatility in a wide variety of applications.
