In Florida, we don’t have the icy winters that are commonplace in some other regions, but homeowners here still enjoy their fireplaces. If you’re thinking of adding a new fireplace to your home, Doodlebuggers Fireplace, Grill & Outdoor Store of Pensacola and Destin, FL, would like to share seven reasons why you should consider a fireplace that runs on wood.
1. AmbienceAs “authentic-looking” as gas fireplaces are, you simply can’t beat the ambience that comes from real wood flames. Nothing produces the same look and feel of logs crackling and popping in a fireplace. If you’re a traditionalist, a roaring wood fireplace is about as traditional as you can get.
Wood fireplaces make perfect centerpieces – and conversation pieces – for all your get-togethers and parties. Burning wood somehow creates a sense of home, stability and unity. Your friends and family will surely be going on and on about how lovely your new fireplace is.
That brings us to the third benefit of a wood fireplace: the way it enhances any room with its beauty and elegance. Modern fireplaces made by leading manufacturers come in a range of exciting shapes, sizes, colors and finishes. It’s easy to match your home’s décor and add that “certain something” that may have been missing from your room.
When it gets chilly and you want heat, a manufactured wood fireplace is the appliance of choice. Unlike an open masonry fireplace, which loses most of its heat up the chimney, a new wood-burning manufactured unit conserves the majority of its heat and sends it into your room.
5. Economical to useWood is a very economical fuel, whether you use your fireplace for heat or simply for the beauty it brings to your home. When heat is needed, you’ll be able to reduce your gas bill by letting your fireplace bring on the warmth.
Today’s manufactured wood fireplaces can be easily installed in just about any wall in your home. They come with their own vent pipe, which can extend through a nearby wall or ceiling. You won’t have to deal with a big construction project or the building of a chimney when adding a wood fireplace to your home.
Wood is a great alternative to fossil fuels, which have been the subject of much negative talk in recent years. Burning wood adds no “carbon footprint”to our environment and releases much less carbon dioxide into the air than fossil fuels, such as gas. Additionally, living trees absorb much of the carbon dioxide that burning wood sends into the atmosphere.
