Consider a New Gas Fireplace

The cold temperatures of winter are almost here! So, it is time to make sure your home is ready for the season. Disappointed in the performance of your traditional masonry wood-burning fireplace? Looking for a way to increase the heating efficiency of your home? One way you can improve the way you heat your home is to update your old fireplace by installing a new gas fireplace insert. This type of heating appliance provides more cozy warmth to your home, without raising your utility bills. Chim Cheree carries a wide variety of Valor and Regency gas fireplace appliances. In addition, you can trust our technicians to properly and safely install your new insert, because we are proud to be certified by the National Fireplace Institute.

Increase the heating efficiency of your home.

Although traditional wood-burning fireplaces provide a lot of atmosphere and sensory experiences, they do not give a great deal of heat to your home. In fact, the energy efficiency rating of a masonry fireplace can be as low as 10 to 15 percent. This is because so much of the heat produced by the fire escapes out of the chimney. According to HouseLogic, the energy efficiency ratings of gas fireplace inserts ranges from 65 to 99 percent.

Enjoy the convenience and ease of usage.

When you have a wood-burning fireplace, you are responsible for several chores. This includes bringing in firewood from outside storage and sweeping up ashes after each fire. With a gas fireplace insert, you will not have to worry these chores. You will love the convenience of your new gas insert. Why? Because, now you can start a warm fire from the comfort of your favorite chair or couch by pressing a button on your remote control.

Reduce the amount of pollution from your home.

The high energy efficiency ratings of gas fireplace inserts means that very few amounts of pollution are released from your home. Also, your new insert will produce very little smoke, ash, and creosote. Another great benefit of the low energy efficiency rating is that you will save money on your heating costs. You won’t need to turn up the furnace to compensate for the low amount of heat produced by your masonry fireplace.
