Tennesseans Warm Up to Propane Fireplaces

Propane gas fireplaces can be installed inside and outside your home, and they are more efficient and better for the environment than wood-burning units. If you have an old wood fireplace, it’s easy to convert it to a clean-burning and safe fireplace with a gas insert.

Traditional wood fireplaces use an open damper, which enables large amounts of heat to escape. In contrast, sealed propane gas fireplaces keep more heat radiating into the room—without any ashes and other mess to clean up.

With a fireplace that runs on propane gas, you’ll never have to get up and put another log on the fire or wait to make sure the fire is extinguished before you go to bed or leave the house. You’ll help the environment, too, because propane burns much more cleanly than wood. A wood-burning fireplace can produce 4,000% more emissions than a propane unit!

Other benefits of a home fireplace that uses propane gas:

• eco-friendly, clean-burning fuel
• realistic-looking flames
• accessories like remote controls, push-button ignition and thermostats
• efficient supplemental heat source
• added value to your home
• flexibility; fireplace gas logs can be installed anywhere—living room, bedroom, even a bathroom
