Written on: November 6, 2023

Get cozy with a convenient and efficient fireplace!

Winter is just around the corner. There’s already a chill in the air, and it’s only going to get colder. Instead of looking to beat the heat like you did during the summer months, you’ll soon be looking for ways to stay warm and cozy.

If you’re looking for a way to add cozy comfort to your Northeastern Pennsylvania home, consider a gas fireplace. Who doesn’t like to gather around a fire, especially on a chilly winter day?

Are you worried that it will be complicated to integrate a gas fireplace into your home? Don’t be. There is a type that will work for you.

First, let’s answer a question. Do gas fireplaces have to be vented? No. There are direct-vent, natural-vent, and ventless propane fireplaces, and Ace-Robbins offers installation services and repairs for all three. In addition, Ace-Robbins sells and installs propane fireplace inserts and gas log sets. Ace-Robbins also offers a gas fireplace service plan to help you protect your investment.

Gas Logs vs. Firewood

If you’re debating using a traditional fireplace versus propane, here are some things you should know. Propane fireplaces, inserts, and gas log sets have a lot to offer. Here are a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy:

• Convenience: Say goodbye to gathering wood, searching for matches or a lighter, and sweeping up ashes. Simply click “on” to enjoy your fire and “off” when you’re done. What could be easier than that?
• Aesthetics: Today’s propane hearths produce realistic flames and come in a range of designs and finishes. They make a beautiful addition to any room.
• Safety: A propane gas fireplace doesn’t produce embers, doesn’t contain unstable log piles, and doesn’t leave any dangerous creosote buildup in your chimney. Maintained properly, it will provide safe heat for years on end.
• Savings: Propane fireplaces are four to five times more efficient than wood fireplaces. That means you don’t need to spend as much to stay warm with a propane fireplace versus a wood fireplace. You’ll also save money on maintenance, because propane fireplaces cost less to maintain and don’t require chimney cleaning services.
