1. Lower Fuel Costs
Many homeowners are upgrading their outdated heating systems with more cost-efficient gas fireplace inserts. Not only do they use less gas than a traditional furnace, but gas inserts are also a much more efficient heat source than many older wood-burning fireplaces.
Just like older homes are drafty, outdated fireplaces and chimneys lose more heat than they put out into a room. Natural gas fireplaces on the other hand give off much more radiant heat into a space so you need less fuel to efficiently warm the room.
2. Reduces Maintenance Fees
Gas inserts require very little know-how to keep them running in tip-top shape. With no ash or wood debris to worry about, there isn’t much of any upkeep required between uses. An insert can run for hours at a time, multiple days in a row, and remain immaculate because they do not produce any smoke, soot, or other byproducts that would need to be cleaned away.
This means you won’t need to spend any extra money on special cleaning products or tools to keep your fireplace safe and clean. To ensure a gas fireplace insert remains performing its best all you need is an annual inspection from a technician.
3. Environmental Savings
Gas fireplace inserts are fully sealed which ensures heat is never wasted. You also have complete control of how much energy you use and for how long. You can easily ignite a fire with the flip of a switch, adjust it to your ideal temperature, and the space will quickly warm up to exactly your liking.
4. More Heat in Less Time
With a gas fireplace insert, you can enjoy immediate warmth from a beautiful fire, and maintain a comfortable temperature in your home much more efficiently. Modern inserts produce more heat than other traditional home heating methods and their design significantly reduces the amount of heat lost.
Their ease of use eliminates any time-consuming tasks like stoking a fire and their high heat output significantly reduces the amount of time it takes for a space to get warm.
5. Heat Your Home During Power Outages
Gas fireplace inserts work regardless of electricity. So you can rest assured it will continue to burn and provide you with light and warmth in the event of a power outage. If you have ever lost power, you know the price of having light and warmth is actually priceless.
6. Add Value to the Home
Installing a gas fireplace insert can increase the value of your home and make it even more appealing to future buyers. Not only does a luxury fire feature save you money, but they are also a highly desirable commodity and gorgeous addition to any space.
