Colorado Springs, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2019 -- How could an old, inefficient fireplace be transformed into a draft-free, aesthetically pleasing source of warmth? Essentially, the fire can be enclosed within a "fireplace box" to contain the combustion and channel the by-products up the chimney. This is the concept behind fireplace inserts, an upgrade for homeowners which stops sending so much heat up the chimney, and instead directs the heat to the area it is designed to heat, the living space within the home. Beyond the times when the fireplace is in use and potentially sending heat into the street via the chimney, an additional problem historically has been the cold drafts which come down the chimney and into the home when the fire is not lit. Whereas these negative impacts have always been an expected part of home ownership, modern solutions like fireplace inserts can impact utility bills by burning the fuel more efficiently and can add to the property valuation.
Savings can also be made by utilizing the concept of "zone heating". This means using the fireplace to heat one zone of the house rather than the entire space. It can be more challenging with open floor plans, but shutting off rooms which are not commonly used means savings of up to 40% on utility bills.
Where a gas line is impractical, many Colorado homeowners opt for pellet burning fireplaces. The environmentally friendly pellets can be fed automatically from a hopper and the temperature can be controlled easily. The largest models can heat large areas for up to 52 hours on a single load in the hopper. Pellet fireplace inserts can easily be installed, generally into an existing chimney with the installation of a new stainless steel liner. They offer the warmth of wood with the added convenience of predictable and economical pellets as fuel. Pellet fuels are particularly popular in rural areas which do not easy access to wood which could be used as fuel.
