The Benefits of Vented Gas Insert Fireplaces

             Fireplaces  represent  one of  the most  desirable  home amenities,  providing warmth, ambiance,  and  a  perfect  place  to  gather  socially  or  sit  back with  a  good  book.  Gas-powered  fireplaces  have  grown  in  popularity  in  recent  years  for  their  comparatively clean operation when compared with traditional wood-burning styles, although varying methods  of  ventilation  produce  differing  results.When  evaluating  your  options  for  a new fireplace, consider the benefits of a direct-vented gas insert.

       Gas fireplaces are becoming the go-to option for homeowners and builders due to their ease  of  operation,  reduced  environmental  impact  and  versatile  appearance  options. There’s no need for ash pans and cleaning tools or excessive dispersal of pollutants into the air. Any home with access  to a natural  gas  line  is  typically  a  candidate  for a  gas-powered fireplace insert. When it comes to ventilation, however, things become a bit more complicated.

           An unvented fireplaceburns more efficiently due to the lack of a chimney, keeping more heat in the surrounding area. Although they are efficient, vent-free models also allow the byproducts of the combustion to remain within the room, creating issues such as oxygen depletion and excess moisture buildup. By contrast, a vented fireplace draws  in air  from outside of the home while exhausting out combustion gases and vapor.

       In addition to the potential safety benefits of a vented gas insert, they also offer greater efficiency. Utility costs vary by location, but when equipped with a controlled temperature system and pilot light, vented gas fireplaces can provide great savings when used to heat your home. They do an excellent  job of  converting  fuel  for warmth and  the  fully-sealed construction of this type of fireplace aids greatly in providing ideal heat retention.

       Another attractive feature of gas fireplace inserts is their all-around versatility. They can be vented  through walls  or  through  overhead  channels,  allowing  for  new  installations  just about anywhere. An insert placed directly into the wall creates a modern, space-efficient solution, or you might opt for a freestanding unit to create a centerpiece with more space for groups to assemble and enjoy the flames.

      For those concerned with environmental impact, gas fireplace inserts represent a  perfect  solution.  The  fuel  burns with  an  efficiency  rate  between  65  and  99 percent, producing virtually no smoke and very  little air pollution. Once again, clean-up is a breeze by comparison—no ash, soot, or heavy sweeping necessary.

            Vented gas fireplace inserts offer many benefits for your home as well as the environment while still offering the look and feel you desire. They’re also safer, cleaner, and more efficient than just about any option out there. For more info about  vented  gas  inserts  in  San  Diego,  please  visit  this  website www.farrellsfiresideshop.com/gas-inserts
