• A bit of an investment to install. While this will have to be something to contend with regarding any change to your existing home heating system, fireplaces are quite the investment when it comes to getting everything all set up and running. Especially if you’ve decided you want one constructed of masonry, you’ll have to budget the time and money for our masons to build the structure and then make sure it will operate according to code.
• Decent amount of maintenance is required. Though this does slightly depend on what type of fuel you choose, operating a fireplace – no matter if it is wood-burning or fueled by gas – requires a certain level of attention and maintenance. If fueled by wood, for example, you have to source the wood, season it (dry it out), and haul it into the house for use. Gas fireplaces obviously don’t require you to obtain your own fuel, but you still do need to keep an eye on the overall system and be sure that you’re staying up to date with regular services.
• Not as efficient as other options. This also slightly depends on your chosen fuel type, but because fireplaces largely only offer zone heat, if you’re looking for something to heat your whole house, you’d probably want to invest in a supplemental option to just a single fireplace. Of course, with more appliances and sources of heat comes more costs, making it less efficient than something that might heat a larger surface area.

• Wide range of versatility. Due to the structure and design, stoves give you the opportunity to place them just about anywhere. Looking for a new heating addition to an upstairs bedroom? A freestanding stove might be a good option for you. Is your kitchen particularly drafty? A stove could do wonders in making that chilly space comfortable. Because they do not need a traditional chimney system, as long as they are able to connect to the outdoors somehow (either through roof or wall), they are typically good to go.
• Provide heat and light in a power outage. Much like their wood-burning counterpart, a stove will create and provide warmth and light in the event that your power goes out. Unlike a traditional wood-fueled fireplace, though, the mess of combustion is safely contained within the appliance.
• Operation is relatively low maintenance. While you still will need to obtain some type of fuel – whether it’s wood pellets, corn, cherry pits, or something else – it is nothing near what is required to maintain and operate a wood-burning fire. However, because these appliances still create flames, the general ambience is somewhat similar to a more traditional fireplace option – just with a general increase in efficiency.

• Industrial look vs. the cozy aesthetic of traditional or alternative fireplaces. A stove might heat a room better and more efficiently than some of its alternative options, but it also brings a specific, industrial-type look to the room in which it is installed. There are different models and variations, of course, but they all look somewhat similar and bring a completely different vibe than a more traditional fireplace – even if that traditional fireplace is less traditional and is gas-fueled.
• Slightly more maintenance and attention is involved to ensure optimal performance. In order for a stove to produce the desired and optimal amount of heat, it’s important to always have an awareness of the fuel level. Like a wood-burning system, if there is no fuel to burn, there is no heat to be produced, so you’ll have to make sure you always know the status of your fuel stock, so you know when you’re running low.
• Heat production depends on different factors. Things like the type of fuel you choose, the specific stove model and size, the size of your home/the space you’re trying to heat, and more all play into the effectiveness of a freestanding stove. Some models are designed to heat larger spaces than others, but you’ll also want to be sure to do your research on fuel types and what might give you the biggest bang for your buck.

What Are the Different Fuel Options?

We sell wood, gas, and electric products. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and as with the appliance types, what you go with will depend a lot on your preferences and lifestyle. Here’s the lowdown on each:

• Wood: Love the sounds, smells, and overall aesthetic of burning wood? We’ll admit, this is a vibe that’s hard to beat, but with wood-burning units comes a lot of work, too. If you’re up for hauling/storing wood, regularly scooping your ash pile, going through the process of lighting and extinguishing flames, and the like, then wood’s a great option for you.
• Gas: Crave a cozy fireplace without the mess and hassle? Then, we’d recommend a gas unit. These turn on and off with a switch or button, meaning you’re just one easy step away from that warm, comforting atmosphere night after night. Gas units are also known for being quite efficient.
• Electric: No chimney? Not a problem. As long as you have an outlet nearby, an electric system will work in your space. The great part about these is their affordability and flexibility. You can transfer them around your space easily and, come time to move to a new home, you won’t have to leave your beloved fireplace behind either.
