Open fireplaces add character, and comfort, to your home. But unfortunately
they're a little unrealistic in today's world. There are too many environmental
concerns; we don't want to go cutting down that precious hardwood forest just to
keep warm.
Luckily there are some really efficient and environmentally friendly
alternatives, like electricity or gas. These are great because they're easy to
use and don't need much cleaning. They help not only keep your home warm, but
also burn cleaner and create less outdoor pollution problems.
But if you really want to burn wood in your home, then have a slow combustion
fireplace installed. You'll end up using far less wood and they're much more
efficient in heating a room than an open fireplace.
If you're not sure what is best to heat your home, then consult a professional.
