My hubby plus I were looking for some way to supplement our home’s heating system without a sizable investment or renovation project.
Our home is quite old, extremely sizable plus certainly taxing to heat. The multitude of rooms, high ceiling plus immense windows create a challenge for comfort. Plus, my fantastic friend and I live in an section with especially long plus frigid winters. The outdoor temperature frequently drops below cold plus even into the downside digits. My pal and I rely on our furnace for approximately eight months out of the year. Heating our home costs a small fortune. Much of our heat tends to rise straight up to the ceiling. Due to multiple remodeling projects over the years, certain rooms lack the necessary number of supply plus return vents for satisfactory heating. My pal and I tried electric baseboard heaters however didn’t like the appearance or their lack of effectiveness. My pal and I considered having a ductless mini split installed however weren’t eager to mount an air handler on the wall of our historic home. When my hubby advocated that my fantastic friend and I use our fireplace, I got the idea to convert it into a gas heater. After living in the house for nearly ten years, we’d used the wood burning fireplace twice. My pal and I never wanted to go through the work of cutting wood plus hauling the dirty logs through the house. Building a fire meant smoke, ash, flames plus the need to have the chimney cleaned. I called a local HVAC contractor plus asked about a gas insert for the fireplace. The insert includes faux logs plus the look of real flames. We’ve kept the ambience of an authentic wood burning fireplace however added amazing convenience. With the push of a button on a cordless remote, my fantastic friend and I can abruptly plus certainly raise the temperature in the kitchen. The gas furnace features a fan that works to effectively distribute the heat.
