Going off gas...
Very Simple!
With the current gas prices and the government's discouragement policy, it's not so advantageous to heat your living room with a gas fireplace anymore. You want to get rid of that thing, but what's the alternative? No fireplace at all? Or convert to a wood-burning stove? This could also be an expensive option, as you need to consider if the chimney is suitable for a wood-burning stove. Where will you get the wood from? How much cubic meters of wood do you need to burn each year, and what are the costs? Lots of questions and a huge research task...
With an electric decorative fireplace, you bring the charm of flames into your home, and they also provide warmth. Xaralyn's electric decorative fireplaces have 2 heat settings, blowing warm air into the room. The fireplace itself doesn't get hot. And all you need to connect the decorative fireplace is an electrical outlet. No expensive installer, no chimney, none of that is necessary.
The bio ethanol decorative fireplaces don't have heat settings. They emit warmth as soon as you light the decorative fireplace. Since it involves fire from the combustion of bio ethanol, the room should always be ventilated, just like with a wood-burning stove or an open fireplace. Heat-resistant material should also be used during installation. With a bio ethanol decorative fireplace, you don't need a chimney or electrical outlet, so you can place it wherever you want!
Both the electric and bio ethanol decorative fireplaces are available in various price ranges, making the investment to convert from a gas fireplace to a more affordable heat source very reasonable. And once the decorative fireplace is installed, you start saving on your heating costs! The electric decorative fireplaces can heat spaces of up to about 22 m2. If the room is larger, it can function as supplementary heating. This allows you to lower the thermostat in the living room by a few degrees and save on gas here as well!
The bioethanol decorative fireplace can handle larger spaces of up to 40 m2. The savings with these fireplaces are even greater.
Converting a gas fireplace to an electric or bioethanol decorative fireplace is not very complicated and results in significant savings in heating costs!
