With better delivery methods and reliable heating, gas fireplaces have become a staple element in today's living areas.

Without the worries of excessive smoke or fumes, no heavy lifting and no hauling of buckets or boxes, gas fireplaces also save time, and your back.

Installing a gas fireplace or gas stove will require that a natural gas line is run to the unit. While steel pipes are available which are solid and do not bend, there may be certain corners or angles which you need to go around. In these cases you can use a flexible gas pipe which can be bent around corners and through other special angles without having to use multiple pipe joints or connections and is available from Copperfield Chimney Supply .

Check Your Flexible Gas Pipe for Gas Leaks

After installing a gas fireplace or stove using flexible gas pipe or solid gas piping, you should always check for gas leaks before using the unit the first time. You can take some mild dish detergent and apply a drop or two around the pipe connections. If you notice soap bubbles forming after the gas line is turned on, then you have a gas leak. You should turn off the gas and fix all leaks and repeat this process until the line is secure.

When you like the current style and design of your fireplace, but are tired of its inefficiency to properly heat your home, then you should look at getting a wood stove insert . A wood burning insert fits into your existing fireplace and creates and completely enclosed unit. The wood insert can often use your existing chimney system with a few modifications.

A Wood Stove Insert is Energy Efficient to Heat Your Home

There are blower options available on different inserts and work to force more hot air into the room. You will find wood inserts available here at Copperfield Chimney Supply as well as other quality hearth products for your entire home.

Your fireplace holds the key to a cozy home and energy savings. The image of a family gathered around the fireplace, basking in its warm glow, is a classic for a reason: there's really nothing quite as cozy as flames crackling in a fireplace. Many homeowners are embracing that image once again - and saving money on their heating bills to boot. More

Operating gas fireplaces is slightly different from using wood burning fireplaces. Unlike wood burning, there is normally no flue which you need to open prior to starting a fire. Gas units often use self-contained direct vents which draw air from the outside while exchanging harmful gases not burned in the fire. The direct vent is often hidden on the back side of the fireplace out of normal view.

Gas Fireplaces Can Be Installed In Any Unused Corner

There are different sizes of gas fireplaces available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, to fit into all different living spaces of your home. Unused corners make a great location for adding a gas fireplace when you want to avoid using wall space where you already have your television or furniture. A corner fireplace unit only requires the use of a direct vent on one side of the exterior wall while the other side can be an interior wall.
