Introduction

There's no denying that adding a fireplace to your home can greatly improve its deco and overall comfort. However, where it does get complicated is when the time comes to make up your mind and select a model. With so many different types and brands, how does one select the best fit for his needs?

In this presentation, we will see what choices are available, with their pros and cons according to your specific needs.

Wood Burning

This is the real deal. As simple as it gets and an affordable solution, wood burning fireplaces represent the best option for the purists who will make no compromise.

No other alternative can fill your house with such a magical and welcoming atmosphere as an open fire can. Both efficient and an object of beauty, a wood burning stove may need more upkeep than the two options we will describe hereafter, but the sound of crackling wood makes it all worthwile, doesn't it?

Gas Burning

Compared to their wood burning counterparts, even though they lose on the authenticity factor, gas burning stoves show several benefits.

For one, gas burning devices are not only cheaper, they're safer and way more convenient. No need to start the fire; with just a click of a button, your fire is set. Also, with the presence of safety shutoff's, your house is less in danger... Gas give you control.

Electric Fireplaces

Even though they've made huge progress in the last years and look almost like the real thing, electric fireplaces still lag behind on certain points. They do not generate as much heat as wood or gas burning fireplaces (so, they're out of the picture if you have a large volume of space to heat up) and they may look "fake" if you go for lower grade models...

However, they're easy to install and need no vent (which represents their best feature). Also, as no real wood is burned, there will be no air contamination.

Brands

When you've made your choice between wood, gas or electric power, you still need to know which brands you can rely on; brands that have proven to be reliable and to come out with quality products that stood the test of time.

•Jotul: every item stamped with the Jotul logo will be a model of excellence as the brand keeps pushing forward to stay at the cutting edge of technology

•Pacific Energy: with 30 years of experience, Pacific Energy is a serious contender to Jotul, specializing in both wood and gas inserts

•Osburn: the leader of high-efficiency zone heating products

•Supreme: the best choice if you need a wood burning fireplace that can warm large rooms

•Dimplex: one of the most reliable providers of electric fireplaces around

Shop Considerations

If you should give serious consideration to your choice of a fireplace, you shouldn’t overlook the store where you will get it from either.

Are the installers who work there certified? What guarantees do they offer? How long have they been in business? Do they have testimonials or references you could check? All those questions will greatly help in determining who to trust with your fireplace needs.

Conclusion

Deciding to buy a fireplace might seem like an overwhelming proposition at first. With so many models and brands to choose from (not to speak about the shops where to buy from), one can quickly lose his footing.

Once again, information comes to the rescue. By educating yourself, you gain not only knowledge but also the confidence to make the right decision. We hope that this presentation helped you in this sense.
