Eco Friendly Fireplaces
In today's environmentally conscience world, standard wood burning fireplaces have become a thing of the past. They are being replaced by new kinds of vent less flame fireplaces that burn clean fuel, look attractive and supply heat energy for the home. The new vent less fireplaces can be found in many styles, colors, and sizes to fit in with any decor and style of home. Some don't require any installation at all and may be moved from room to room.
Types of Eco Friendly Fireplaces
Electric fireplaces are one type of vent less fireplace that are great for small apartments or condos. These units require almost no maintenance and installation. All you need to do is plug them into your wall outlet and turn it on. Viola, you have some heat. Most electric fireplaces come furnished with a blower which will blow the warmth through the entire room or apartment. Electric fireplaces come in a variety of styles like TV stand fireplaces, upright finished wood fireplaces with mantel, and wall-mounted fireplaces.
Gel fireplaces are another type of vent less fireplace that burn a superior quality alcohol-based gel that doesn't discharge any toxic fumes or leave any ash. Like the electric fireplace, they are available in numerous styles, shapes, and sizes. The gel comes in a canister that burns for around 2-3 hours at a time. The thing that is different about gel fuel fireplaces is that they crackle like a real wood fire. These fireplaces can also be found in traditional mantel styles along with, wall-mounted and table top units. They come in many modern designs too if that's your thing.
Ethanol based fuel fireplaces burn 100% renewable bio fuel from renewable materials such as corn. Denatured ethanol as it is called is even cleaner than the ethanol that goes in your car's gas tank. It burns clean leaving only water vapor and carbon dioxide, leaving no soot or ash residue. Ethanol is readily available at most fireplace retailers and online at places like Amazon.
If you already have a wood burning fireplace, consider getting a fireplace insert to increase efficiency. Fireplace inserts are made to fit into your existing wood fireplace. They are fireproof and well insulated with steel or cast iron to make a closed combustion system. This traps the heat and a blower will blow the warmth out into the home. You can also purchase electric or gel fireplace inserts that don't produce any fumes and don't require any venting. These are a very convenient and economical way to transition from your wood burning fireplace to a more eco-friendly method.Time for you to jump on the band wagon and move into the 21st century.
