Gas Fireplace Annual Maintenance

Every household appliance needs regular maintenance and your gas fireplace is no exception. Burn safely and efficiently by performing routine gas fireplace annual maintenance.

Have a licensed gas appliance specialist inspect the lines and connections annually. This will catch problems before they become a danger to your family.

Clean off your log set with a damp cloth and wipe the glass doors clean with a specialized fireplace glass cleaner. This will eliminate flammable dust and give you a clear view of the flames.

Check for any blockages – inside and out. Watch for critters, birds and spiders that may have made a home in these cozy spots.

Lastly, test your carbon monoxide detectors and replace the batteries if needed.

Fireplace Village provides gas fireplace maintenance service in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Contact Fireplace Village to schedule an appointment to have your gas fireplace or gas appliance serviced.

Wood Stove Steamers

 wood_stove_steamers

For a decorative touch and the addition of necessary humidity, invest in wood stove steamers. Available in a wide variety of styles, sizes and colors, wood stove steamers are actually quite useful. They hold a bowl full of water and by sitting on the wood stove and gathering heat, the water boils and steam is released into the room. This helps to combat the dryness often present with the use of wood stove heating.

Look for attractive and simple designs, as well as coordinating or ornamental shapes and colors. A simple thing that adds enjoyment and beauty to your wood stove, you sure to enjoy the use of wood stove steamers.

Move the wood stove heat – Buy a Fan

wood_stove_fans

In order to effectively heat your whole home, the warm air from the wood stove must circulate. Buy a fan to move the wood stove heat around. An inexpensive option, fans can be placed on the floor, in a window or even within door frames. Look for a quiet model that can be mounted in various places.

It’s especially important to move the air that’s above or near the ceiling in the wood stove’s room. Air is flowing towards the wood stove from along or near the floor and then coming out of the stove above. Distribute the warm air in that area with a fan.

    

Remodel cheaply – Buy a Hearth Rug
