Fire Starting: Flip a switch or grab your remote. It’s that easy.

Types Of Heat: Enjoy a steady mix of radiant and convective heat.

Fuel Storage & Handling: Fed through a pipeline or delivered to your home and stored in an outside tank.

~~ELECTRIC~~

Benefits: Extremely reliable heat. No gas or wood to purchase. No venting required. Install almost anywhere.

Fire Characteristics: A unique, hypnotic glow with no actual flames.

Fire Starting: Use an outlet or have the unit hardwired. Then, simply flip a switch or grab your remote.

Type Of Heat: Electric fireplaces produce radiant heat – and you completely control the heat output.

Fuel Storage & Handling: Electric fireplaces are extremely hassle-free and don’t require any fuel storage.

~~WOOD~~

Benefits: Natural and available. Wood can supplement furnace usage and drive heating costs down.

Fire Starting: Manual – paper, kindling, and fire-starting logs are effective.

Type Of Heat: Most of the heat is conventional – blown through a heat exchanger and out into the home.

Fuel Storage & Handling: Pellets are normally available in 40 lb. bags. A 1,500 sq. ft. home will use 2-4 tons per season, on average.
