Fireplaces are not only a great source of heat, they are also a wonderful display that can leave a person entranced for hours. For Toronto residents experiencing the Canadian weather, the thought of purchasing a gas fireplace seems essential. However, many people are unsure where to even start when purchasing a gas fireplace in the Greater Toronto Area. This short tip guide, with points to consider, will give good insight when purchasing a gas fireplace in the Greater Toronto Area!
Ventilation
The first thing to determine is the type of ventilation that the gas fireplace will use. A ventless gas fireplace does not require any vent installation and is considered the most efficient because heat is not lost through any ventilation system. A vented fireplace loses some of those luxuries but fresh air is circulated through an air intake pipe.
Gas Type
There are two major choices when it comes to gas: natural or propane. Natural gas is the cleanest burning but propane still burns well, produces great amounts of heat, and is a great alternative for rural communities.
Style
The flames of the fireplace can differ depending on the style used for the firebox. The main choices for owners are typically glass or logs. The logs are more rustic and create a more traditional flame. Glass is useful for a contemporary ambience as the flames reflect off of the sheen surfaces of the glass.
Cost and Value
Consider the cost of the new fireplace. Gas fireplaces add value to the home so take in to account any added value in addition to the total cost. A gas fireplace price ranges in cost due to different features, size, brand, and other factors.
