Gas Fireplaces Are Easier to Use and Maintain than Wood Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces are easier to maintain than traditional wood burning fireplaces. There are no ashes or other types of deposits, like creosote to have to clean up after using the fireplace. Starting a fire is also easier with gas units and in most cases, you just flip a switch and the fireplace ignites. There is no wood to attempt to light on fire nor do you have to wait until for the fire to start generating heat, as gas units will make heat as soon as they are turned on.

Gas Fireplaces Can Be Used Just About Anywhere in the Home

Installing gas fireplaces, like the ones available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, are easier to install than wood burning fireplaces. Since you only need a gas line connection and a direct vent to the outdoor air, you can place gas units just about anywhere in the home. You do not have to worry about installing a chimney when you place at least one side of the fireplace on an exterior wall for venting.
