In our lake cabin currently I have for the first time ever in our life, a gas fireplace, it is great, because you flip a switch & it goes on, then there is some fake wood & kindling & such around it of course.
I think you could say it looks loving.
I would agree… Some folk even get fireplace apps for their TVs so they can have the look of a fireplace, but that doesn’t heat a house! Since I have been here I have needed no repair on our fireplace either. In the same timeframe I have had to have an Heating & Air Conditioning professional come out once. Then they turned up again a month later to upgrade the whole Heating & Air Conditioning system, but needless to say our fireplace has been a bit less high repair. I use it alot in the winter. Sporadically I wonder if it is affecting our air quality at all, but I have looked into it, & it seems love the fire burns off any & all chemicals that might affect me badly. That is not to say that I have not looked into air-purification systems though. I mean, with the amount that I use our gas fireplace, to me it seems natural that I am thinking about this. I am on the fence, but I learn about it all, that is for sure, obviously, our air quality is pressing for our health. I have learn about how terrible air quality in cities & such directly affects our lifespans. So you can bet this is something I take seriously, however at the moment, I am going to keep using our gas fireplace, while at the same time, I am going to stay aware of the latest in whole lake cabin air purification.
