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:
Several types of fireplaces are available on the market: free-standing in any shape and size, built-in or linear. And they can be comprised of a variety of materials, including stone, steel or stainless steel. Most come with a remote control to adjust the intensity of the flame.
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.
