As fall and winter get closer, the idea of being able to curl up in front of a beautiful, warm fire is tempting. However, having to move logs, mop up melted snow, shovel out ash, and clean up debris that falls off of the firewood you bring in are all chores that will need to happen for that fire to take place, in addition to cutting and chopping the wood. However, a gas log set provides you with the same beauty at a fraction of the work. In this article, we’ll explain the benefits of gas log installation for your New Braunfels home.
The Benefits of Changing to a Gas Log Set
Free of hassles: In addition to all of the hauling and cleaning work that’s saved with switching to gas, you can simply flick a switch or set the thermostat to start your gas log set burning and heating your home.
More environmentally friendly: Using either propane or natural gas, gas log sets release fewer particulates and emissions than wood, making it a more environmentally friendly option for your home.
Cost-effective: Gas logs are extremely popular right now, and having one installed is a great investment in your home. It’s estimated that 90% of the cost of installation shows up in increased home value.
Lower heating costs: A gas fireplace works very well with a zone heating system, allowing you to only heat the space the log set is in when it’s being used. This can dramatically cut your heating bill.
Realistic: Ceramic logs have been adapted over the years to look amazingly realistic, complete with natural bark patterns in the species of wood that you’d prefer, knotholes, branches, and even ax marks.
By making the change to a gas log set, you can ensure that you’ll have a lot more time to curl up in front of that beautiful, warm fire, along with more time to spend on other activities.
