My husband as well as I toured lots of properties for sale in South Bend, IN, before finally making an offer, however one of the selling points of the house was the fireplace, but the fireplace is constructed of sizable fieldstones with a hardwood mantle as well as hearth… It is sizable as well as a major focal point of the living room; My husband as well as I imagined building a fire on a winter time night as well as enjoying the warmth as well as ambience.
My enjoyable friend and I believed that using the fireplace would help to reduce our heating costs, but we’ve now lived in the house for almost eight years, as well as we’ve built one fire! Chopping as well as hauling wood is labor-intensive, time-consuming as well as creates a mess. I didn’t like dragging dirty wood through the house; Getting a fire lit is more difficult than we anticipated. The fire creates ashes, flames as well as fumes. My enjoyable friend and I needed to stand really close to the fireplace to love the heat. After having a fire, we needed to invest in cleaning the chimney. I am looking into converting from a wood burning to a natural gas fireplace. A natural gas fireplace starts instantly with the press of a button on a cordless remote. The system includes a fan that distributes the heat evenly throughout the room. It is lovelyly energy efficient, scrub as well as quiet. The look of the logs as well as fire are realistic as well as enjoyable. Maintenance for a gas fireplace is minimal. I am really excited to have the fireplace converted. The process isn’t overly luxurious or intrusive. Once the fireplace operates on natural gas it will finally contribute to heating as well as comfort.
