We may be finally moving out of winter and there are warmer days ahead, but the weather, especially the temperatures, can be so unpredictable. You never know when you will need a heat source quick to stay warm on a cold night or if some strange, unlikely weather forecast pops up.
Getting a gas traditional fireplace can be the answer for you.
It may not seem all that logical to have a fireplace added to your home as the warmest weather of the year slowly makes its arrival. You have perhaps spent the last few months feeling a little colder than you normally do without that extra heat source to keep you warm.
But there are benefits to buying Gas Traditional Fireplaces in the spring and summer months.
For one, if you are in an area that experiences cold winters and are getting relief from using heat, it is the perfect time to add a fireplace so you are prepared for next winter. Gas fireplaces give you all of the aesthetics of a traditional wood fireplace without real logs, and have a large range of burning elements like ceramic logs that can give the appearance of a wood fireplace without leaving behind the embers and ash and soot that comes with burning wood.
Gas fireplaces also come in different styles: direct vent, ventless and vented fireplaces. Direct vent fireplaces pull air from outside and the gas source to build a large amount of heat without losing the warm air up the flue. They also don’t require chimneys.
Ventless fireplaces can be placed against internal walls and anywhere that a gas source can be connected. They have no venting, so they combust inside air and produce gas into inside air. The flames burn cleanly and don’t produce carbon monoxide, making it same for your home.
Vented gas fireplaces are built similarly to wood-burning fireplaces and have a firebox vented through a chimney. These fireplaces often have the largest space so they can fit the largest burning elements.
Gas fireplaces are also very easy to start and stop. Just a push of a button can ignite the fire and turn it off when you are through.
Of course, the question with gas fireplaces during warmer months is whether you should turn the pilot off on gas during these months. It depends on what you want to do by either leaving it on or turning it off. There are reasons for both depending on your preference.
Turning the gas off means that no gas is wasted. This saves energy and money. It also means no heat is being generated when you may not want it. It will be hot during the summer after all.
One of the cons for turning your gas off is that you will need a local installer to service the gas and turn it on, which does cost you extra money.
Leaving the gas on over the summer leaves you always prepared to turn the fireplace on when it may be chilly outside and be a good night to sit by a fire and you won’t have to re-light the pilot. It also keeps insects like spiders out of the tubes and prevents webs from being created that will require cleaning before turning the gas back on.
If the gas is left on for several months and not often used, it can create a sulfur film that develops inside the glass. That will require you to clean the glass or run the risk of having it last forever.
