Why You Need to Convert Wood to Gas Fireplace Now

The fireplace adds more than just warmth at home. It is a home’s focal point, a symbol of comfort. There’s something about a living room with a fireplace that makes a person feel instantly comforted? Most houses are equipped with wood-burning fireplaces, which feel authentic and inject that homey feel to the living room. But there are some benefits to Gas fireplaces and heaters in North Vancouver that trump those of a wood fireplace.
Here are some reasons why you need to make the switch from a wood fireplace to a gas-operated one now:
  1. It is a more convenient option.
Think about it. Building a fire can take a lot of time and effort. If the fire burns down, you need to fire it up again. A gas fireplace is more convenient to use because just turn a key and it lights up right away.
  1. It does not create a lot of mess.
Pieces of wood get everywhere – even the nook and cranny of your flooring. Soot and ashes can also create a mess, sometimes a permanent one. Since you don’t need to get wood for your gas fireplace, you can avoid these messy problems. No need to scrub the fireplace cleans of soot and ash either. Just wipe the mantle and the walls of your fireplace and you are great to go.
  1. It doesn’t emit toxic fumes.
Inhaling the smoke from wood can cause respiratory problems according to experts. It also affects the air quality of your home. If you have a baby, you don’t want to cause harm by exposing him or her to a wooden fireplace.
Gas fireplaces are energy-efficient. You shouldn’t have problems finding an energy-rated brand. Pro Gas North Shore offers Montigo and Kingsman, two of the most reliable local brands of gas fireplaces you can buy.
