There are several advantages to natural gas fireplaces, not only in terms of how they work but also the many different styles you can choose from to fit with your décor, not to mention the comfort they offer! Here are the main attributes of what is already the number one choice of homeowners.

• In terms of simplicity and convenience, they win hands down over wood fireplaces. No need to split and stack your wood for the cold season. Just push a button, and the heat starts instantly and stays constant without any effort on your part! What’s more, you have total control over how much heat you want, through the thermostat. Now that’s comfort.
• Natural gas fireplaces work without electricity. No need to dig out warm blankets in case of a power outage, your fireplace will keep your house as warm as you want it!
• Natural gas fireplaces are more efficient than one might think because the combustion is sealed. In other words, air is taken from the outside to feed the combustion, and expelled back outside, unlike most wood fireplaces, which take the warm air from your home and expel it through the chimney. Less heat loss means more efficiency.
• Ease of maintenance and cleanliness are uncontestable attributes valued by users. No debris, ashes or dust in your home. All it takes is maintenance every two years by a qualified technician.
