Fireplaces

Propane Fireplaces Don’t Burn Money.

Fireplaces and other hearth products are now found in almost 65 percent of all new homes (Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association). Here’s why so many keep the home fires burning with propane.

  • A traditional fireplace requires the damper to be open while in use, allowing large amounts of heat to escape, direct-vent gas inserts have a sealed combustion chamber reducing the amount of heat escaping to the outside and ensuring more heat is radiated into the room. Direct vents utilize 100 percent of combustion air from outside the home.
  • Gas inserts can improve your homes indoor air quality. While wood-burning fireplaces may increase particulate and allergens, the sealed combustion chamber guarantees 100 percent of combustion by-products are expelled outside the home, ensuring and maintaining your home’s indoor air quality.
  • Propane fireplaces turn off easily with a switch — or a remote control — eliminating worry about remaining embers.
  • Using propane fireplaces eliminates messy clean-up of wood fires.

Choose from a Variety of Hot Options.

  • Propane fireplaces can be installed as freestanding units, wall insets, traditional masonry, or ultra-contemporary designs.
  • They can be equipped with a variety of options, including push-button ignition, remote control, variable heat controls and thermostats.
  • Propane fireplaces can also be equipped with built-in dampers, smoke shelves, and heat circulating features to provide both radiant and convective heat.
