Natural Gas Fireplaces
By Kevin Stith
In the medieval period, it was common amongst people belonging to the upper strata of the society to organize traditional gatherings comprising of their family and friends. These social gatherings usually took place in the cozy atmosphere of a room, against the backdrop of the flickering flames of a fireplace. In those days, people burned wood and had to bear with the dirt or smoke created by the fireplace. The introduction of natural gas as a domestic and industrial fuel has changed this and many users of fireplaces have been benefited, especially since it is a cheap yet highly reliable fuel. Natural gas is used for cooking and is also ideal for lighting fireplaces.
There are a number of natural gas fireplaces, available in a wide variety of styles that matches with the varying needs of people. Zero-clearance, freestanding and inserts are a few of the commonly used natural gas fireplaces.
A natural gas fireplace is practical because it quickly fills a room with warmth, charm, and comfort owing to its property of burning faster than wood. Natural gas fireplaces are better for the atmosphere, since they do not release smoke, ashes or harmful air pollutants that are associated with wood-burning fireplaces.
The usage of natural gas fireplaces is more economical than electrical firplaces or heat sources. It also offers a beautiful and convenient alternative to wood-burning fireplaces as it provides more warmth for relaxation. There are a few other advantages of natural gas over wood. The fireplaces are easy to operate with instant on/off features, flexibility for installing in any room, easy availability, and reduced pollutant emissions.
To enhance the durability of natural gas fireplaces, regular maintenance is required. At least once a year, heating professionals should be called to inspect the burner, blower operation, venting, pilot and thermostat and to clean the glass
Advanced technology allows people to install a natural gas fireplace almost anywhere they desire, as it does not require a chimney. If a chosen room does not have natural gas piping, then a licensed natural gas contractor can install one to install a natural gas fireplace.
