It’s a time-honored tradition to gather around an outdoor fire pit to stay warm and spend time with friends and family. Today, gas fireplaces can deliver that same glow and warmth to your living room.
Gas fireplaces are not only more convenient than wood stoves—but they’re also better for the environment. Most burn with a 90 percent or higher efficiency rating, meaning virtually no pollution.
Want to cozy up your living room? How about an outdoor gas fire pit on your porch to sit by with a drink? Taylor Gas Heating Air can craft the perfect gas fireplace solution to make your Hollywood, MD, home even cozier and inviting. We’re pleased to bring you the finest gas fireplaces in the business in Maryland.
Customers also enjoy the number of options available. You can pick the HVAC equipment that meets your needs and complements your surroundings.
Here are some of the more popular gas fireplace designs that you can work with and customize:
- Inserts—Inserts have the traditional “log and burner” design. This log and burner set is housed in a metal box, enclosed in another slightly larger metal box, and sits in your fireplace. You’ll also need to decide whether you want to vent or go vent-free.
- Built-Ins—Built-in fireplaces look similar to inserts. They utilize the same technology but don’t require a fireplace or chimney. They can go virtually anywhere. Vented units permeate hot air through an opening in the wall. Like inserts, they can be vented or non-vented.
- Log Sets—Log sets are the most budget-friendly option due to their simplicity. A specialist will place ceramic faux logs in your fireplace and install a gas burner underneath to produce flames. This HVAC installation will only require some drilling to access your gas or electric lines.
- Material—While we love the rustic feel of logs, you can choose from many more designs. Some popular materials for gas fireplaces include reflective glass rocks, ceramic stones, and faux coal. These materials come in various shapes and colors. You can pick the perfect design that suits your living area.
- Vented or Vent-Free—One of the great benefits of gas fireplaces is their lack of smoke, odor, and soot. But like gas stoves, they produce trace amounts of pollutants like carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen, and sulfur oxides.
Vented fireplaces blow these pollutants outside, while non-vented fireplaces do not. While safer, they are slightly less efficient than non-vented.
Non-vented fireplaces have an efficiency rating of nearly 99 percent. They are also more versatile—you can install them just about anywhere. Be sure to weigh the options with a specialist so you can make the best choices.
