Summers in Louisville can be so hot and humid! This makes your heating system the last thing on your mind. However, the days of cooler weather will arrive before you know it. Make sure your family will be warm and comfortable this winter. How? All American Chimney Service recommends to start planning how you will be heating your home in the summer. The first step in preparing for cold weather involves budgeting your heating costs.
Have your utility bills been getting more expensive each year? If so, you may want to make some changes in your home heating system. Updating a traditional masonry fireplace to a more energy efficient hearth appliance is a great option to lower your costs. Summer is the best time to make this change! The experienced staff in our Fireplace Store can help you with this project. We use our Invite-Only Showroom to help you decide the best new fireplace for your home. In addition, we are proud to offer a wide variety of hearth appliances from the best brands in the industry. Now, we would like to tell you a bit more about a couple of your options.
WOOD-BURNING AND GAS FIREPLACE INSERTS
One of the easiest ways to update your old traditional masonry fireplace? Have a new fireplace insert professionally installed into the existing opening. All American Chimney Service offers a selection of these energy-efficient inserts, in both wood-burning and gas fuel types. You will be able to choose from many different types of sizes and decor styles from the best brands in the industry. These include Regency Fireplace Products and Valor. Think a wood-burning fireplace as a less efficient and more polluting way to heat your home? Think again! Newer technology allows these inserts to burn wood more cleanly with fewer emissions.
Your home will also be provided with more heat, and many models are equipped with fans that can better circulate the heat into the room. If you prefer convenience and ease of operation, you may want to consider a gas fireplace insert. You will not have to worry about bringing in firewood from outdoor storage or sweeping up ashes after a fire. To get the fire started, you simply flip a switch or even push a button from your favorite chair with a remote control. However, if your home is not connected to a gas line, it will be less expensive to go with a wood-burning model instead.
