Whether you use a fireplace as a primary or auxiliary heat source or just for the ambiance that it adds to a room, you have many different options to consider. A popular choice for homes that want an easy-to-operate style is gas fireplaces. Here at 31-W Insulation, we offer a wide variety of styles of gas fireplaces so you can get the look you are going for and the features that fit your family’s needs.
Gas fireplaces are an ideal option when you don’t want to deal with ordering wood or cutting and splitting the logs yourself. They are also ideal if you don’t relish the chance of getting splinters in your hands or running out of wood at the worst possible moment. People who don’t care for spiders often choose not to have wood brought into the home, as that can sometimes result in a hitchhiking spider coming in, too.
Gas fireplaces burn without the ash and soot of a wood fireplace, which is a welcome benefit for allergy sufferers and others with respiratory conditions. Another option in this regard is an electric fireplace, but if you want an option that you can use during a power failure, gas fireplaces make the better choice.
Finally, gas fireplaces are safer, which is a consideration when there are children or pets that could become injured from the accessible flame or embers of a woodburning fireplace. You also won’t need to keep fire tools around that could put them in danger. If you have any questions about how gas fireplaces work or would like to discuss getting one for your home, don’t hesitate to contact us.
