Most people wonder if gas fireplaces are worth spending their money on. But if you think about it, you likely spend most of your time in only two or three rooms in your home.
Here’s a question to ponder. Why run your furnace, which uses 80,000 to 100,000 BTUs of gas, when a gas fireplace will comfortably heat the area you’re generally in, using only 1/4 or 1/3 of the fuel?
We’re talking about zone heating, that is, separately heating those areas of your house where you spend most of your time. A gas fireplace is a great way to add a little more warmth to a cooler room or to zone heat a living area in your home.
Much has been written about the impression a fireplace creates in your home. When it comes to convenience, it’s easy to understand why gas fireplaces are so popular. And, rightly so. From the comfort of your recliner, you can simply click the remote and easily control the amount of heat, the speed of the fan, and the ambiance in your family room.
Extremely easy to operate, providing heat and comfort where you want it, adding a striking atmosphere to your home with beautiful flames, efficiencies of 80%+, and adding value to your home; are you still asking if a gas fireplace is worth it? Of course it is—an unequivocal YES!
