First, our gas fireplaces are top-tier in terms of efficiency, with up to 90% of gas converted into heat, and easy-to-adjust settings. They're neat, convenient, and with less pollution than wood-burning options.

Our stoves, both gas and electric, also provide a solid choice. The gas models offer up to 70% efficiency, while our electric models are super efficient at the point of use, but remember, their overall efficiency depends on your local power grid.

Traditional wood-burning fireplaces, although they come with that authentic, crackling ambiance, are less efficient - often converting just 5-10% of wood into heat. But don't worry, we have EPA-certified models that can boost this rate significantly!

Remember, it's not just about the numbers - it's about finding the perfect fit for your home. Each option has its unique charm and utility. Let's find the one that matches your needs and style the best!

Electric VS GAS Fireplaces

If we're talking convenience and safety, electric fireplaces are quite a hit. They're quick to install - just plug in and voila, instant ambiance! Plus, no fumes or flames to worry about, making it a fantastic choice if you've got young ones running around or if you're renting your space. And did I mention you can have that cozy fireplace feel even in summer? Yep, electric fireplaces often come with a heat-off setting so you can enjoy the fire without the heat.

If convenience and safety are top of your list, electric fireplaces are a gem—easy to install, safe for all family members, and able to provide a cozy ambiance year-round. But if you're after a power-packed, efficient heat source, and don't mind a bit of installation, gas fireplaces are the champs, converting up to 90% of gas into heat. Remember, it's all about the perfect fit for your home and lifestyle!

Here are a few key advantages of electric heating

Simplicity: Just plug it in and you're good to go.

Efficiency: 100% efficient at the point of use, turning all electricity into heat.

Control: Precise temperature control, with smart features on many models for adjusting settings or scheduling heating times.

Safety: Extremely safe with zero in-home emissions.

Gas: When it comes to gas stoves, they're a strong player in the efficiency game. They can convert up to 70% of the gas into heat, so you're getting a good bang for your buck. Plus, they're super convenient to operate, often just needing a flick of a switch. You won't have to worry about hauling and storing fuel like you do with pellets. Gas stoves are a fantastic pick if you're after a high-efficiency, low-maintenance option.

Pellet: Now, let's chat about pellet stoves. These beauties use compressed pellets made from wood waste, so they're a greener choice. But the real kicker is their efficiency—they can reach up to 80-90%, outpacing even gas stoves! However, they do require a bit more effort, needing regular refills and cleaning. If you don't mind a little extra work and want to use a renewable fuel source, a pellet stove could be your perfect match. It's all about balancing convenience, efficiency, and your personal commitment to the environment!

Pros:On the pro side, a fireplace insert can be a game-changer when it comes to boosting the efficiency of an existing open fireplace. They're designed to fit right into your current fireplace and seal off the opening, reducing the heat loss up the chimney. Many models can reach efficiencies of 60-80%, turning your once drafty fireplace into a powerful heat source. Plus, they come in different fuel types—wood, gas, pellet—allowing you to pick what suits your needs best. And let's not forget, they can significantly enhance the look of your existing fireplace, adding a touch of modern elegance.

Cons: Now, onto the cons. Installation of a fireplace insert typicallys requires professional help. They also need a liner to be installed in your existing chimney, which adds to the cost. Maintenance can be expected, especially for wood or pellet models. And while they improve the efficiency of your existing fireplace, they may not provide as much heat as a dedicated stove or furnace. So, while a fireplace insert can be a wonderful way to upgrade an existing fireplace, it's important to consider what heating system is best for your home!
