Chicago Chimney & Fireplace Energy Conservation Services

Many property owners are now looking for energy-efficient options of various appliances and fixtures in their homes. This trend also extends to fireplaces. An energy-efficient gas or wood burning fireplace allows you to enjoy the warmth without energy wastage. This is why we at Chicago Fireplace Inc. recommend that customers opt for energy-efficient fireplaces.

Energy-Efficient Wood-Burning Fireplace

Here is some information that will help you make the right fireplace choice. If you are getting a wood burning fireplace installed, it is best to stay away from the standard design as it sends a large amount of the heated air in your home up the chimney. Some of the energy-efficient wood burning fireplaces is that we recommend include

• Rumford Fireplaces– The shallow box design helps to reflect a large amount of heat into the room.
• EPA-qualified Fireplaces– These products have high energy-efficiency ratings and perform very well. The design pulls in outdoor air which is then heated and circulated in the room. These features extract most of the usable heat and are less polluting as well.

Fireplace Inserts

A fireplace insert is a sealed metal box that is specifically designed to fit within the masonry fireplace opening. These installations are designed to circulate the heated air indoors effectively. Some of these units have an 80% efficiency rating and can burn different types of biofuels such as pellets and wood.

If you already have a standard wood burning fireplace in your home, we can install glass doors which will help improve its energy-efficiency. These doors reduce the amount of air that gets sucked up from the room into the fireplace during combustion.
