The Benefits of Wood Fireplaces

  • A cost-effective and reliable heat source.
  • Many types of wood can be used; hard woods like oak are ideal for producing longer burn cycles.
  • They come in closed and open systems; the former is recommended when you want to maximize heat output, while the latter allows you to see the burning flames in all their mesmerizing glory (believe it or not, this is a top-selling feature for these).
  • They are used for zone heating; wood fireplaces allow you to heat only the rooms that need to be. You will save money and will be making an environmentally friendly investment.
