Electric Fireplace

The easiest way to get the cozy vibes without a lot of hassle is with an electric fireplace. All you have to do is press the On button and voila the fireplace is all aglow. Electric fireplaces are there to set the mood in your home and don't actually burn any wood or electricity. They are a much less expensive fireplace alternative when compared to other models and still provide some heat. You won't have to think about a chimney or having to clean out all of the ashes. If you have small children in your house, an electrical fireplace is a great choice because you won't have to worry about them burning themselves or the health hazzard of fumes or smoke.

Gas Fireplaces

Another great option for home fireplaces are gas. They look beautiful and are a popular choice for many home owners. It is a complex process to set up a gas fireplace so it's recommended that you hire an expert to install it for you. You must have an accessible gas line and a chimney to vent to gas fumes to the exterior of your home. It's also very important that your fireplace, gas lines, and chimney is inspected yearly so you can mitigate any danger. A gas fireplace emits a lot of heat and can quickly warm a room. Most gas fireplaces come with a thermostat setting control and a fan so you can choose how much heat comes out of the fireplace.

Wood Burning Fireplaces

The most classic form of fireplaces are woodburning ones. It requires the most effort to run and maintain, but is arguably the coziest fireplace type. The real flames add an extra extrodinart element to the overall ambiance. In comparison to other fireplaces, wood burning is certainly the most dangerous. This isn't to deter you, but it is to educate you. If you choose this type, you will need to schedule regular maintenace and chimney cleaning to prevent serious fires from occuring and also to protect you from the smoke emissions. The smoke does contribute to environmental pollution and can cause health risks so be sure to have proper ventiation.
