Enhance Your Home With A New Gas Fireplace, Stove Or Insert
If you’ve decided that a gas appliance makes the most sense for your lifestyle and your home, you’ll still have a big decision to make: do you want a fireplace, a stove or an insert?
Each has definite benefits — it all really depends on your space, your needs and your preferences. American Chimney & Masonry’s technicians can talk you through the process of choosing a new appliance, and help you can find one that completely meets your expectations and hopes. But here’s a little food for thought as you consider this addition:
The Differences Between Fireplaces, Stoves And Inserts
Gas fireplaces, stoves and inserts have one major thing in common: the fuel they use, of course. But they’re still different in several ways, and one might make more sense for you and your home than another.
Fireplaces
Stoves
Traditionally, if we’re talking about wood, stoves and fireplaces differ greatly in terms of heat output – wood-burning stoves are far better zone heaters. But since factory-built gas appliances of all kinds are now designed to provide efficient heat, the more explicit difference between gas fireplaces and stoves comes with regard to installation placement and look. Stoves can be freestanding out in the room, usually on a pedestal or legs, while a fireplace must be built into or installed in a wall. Stoves also bring a unique look to a space, whether you choose one that’s classic cast iron or slick steel.
Worried about heat output? Gas stoves can be great zone heaters — there are units on the market that provide enough heat to keep a whole floor of your home warm.
