The world is shrinking, at least in some ways. More and more people are being attracted to living in smaller spaces, whether for geographic, environmental or personal reasons. The comfort and atmosphere of a fireplace can still be included in tighter spaces. Make a big impression in a small room with these hearth ideas.
Napoleon Fireplace carries a range of products that will spruce up your small home. Maybe you have an older house with a fireplace that needs to be modernized. The Napoleon 1101 wood burning fireplace insert will create an attractive, efficient hearth that heats an area up to 1,500 square feet. This model has a large viewing area on the front of a small firebox that has all of the technology that Napoleon is known for.
If a wood burning fireplace is not what you’re looking for, Napoleon has other options available. You can even have the incredible convenience of a gas fireplace while still maintaining an open feel in your limited space. The Napoleon BGD40 gas fireplace is bright and inviting when installed in a see through version, with one glass corner exposed or in Peninsula mode. Adaptable to your room layout and made to compliment small homes, this unit still packs a powerful punch. Up to 30,000 BTUs and using the trademark Phazeramic burner system, the BGD40 gas fireplace is the perfect addition to the modern and contemporary home.
There are also many different wood and gas stove models available for small spaces. Gas units are the wisest choice, since the venting system allows installation in more areas than wood burning units. They also have minimal clearances to combustibles (as low as 2”), making it simple to install in a corner or anywhere else.

Comfort is an essential part of your home and providing warmth and safety is a sure way to achieve that comfort. Every home in New Hampshire can stay warm throughout the coldest winter with a cozy hearth built in. But to provide the optimum comfort, homeowners need to look after chimney safety and service in New Hampshire as well.
Whether you have a wood burning fireplace, wood stove or gas insert, it is essential to look after the maintenance of the entire hearth. Cleaning and inspections should be done as specified by the manufacturer and homeowners should make sure they are operating the unit according to directions.
Taking care of the chimney service should be left to a professional chimney sweep. Not only are they trained to spot any potential problems, but they are familiar with current information and can give expert advice on any repairs needed. Using their trained eye, you can rest easier knowing that your chimney is working well when you need it to.
Fall, winter and early spring in New Hampshire finds many people tucked away in their homes closed up tight for the season. Practicing chimney safety is vital during these times. Because your windows and doors stay closed most of the chilly season, it’s important to have adequate ventilation for your heating systems. That means having a solid, clear chimney that you can depend on over the coming months.
Before your family needs to snuggle in and escape the cold, make sure to have a qualified technician inspect the entire chimney system. They will take a look at the liner, any connections to your unit (such as stove pipes and flues), as well as the vents and chimney cap. They will also have a closer look inside the chimney to assess the build up of creosote.
Creosote is a highly flammable substance that naturally builds up from regular use of a fireplace or wood stove. Once that build up reaches a certain level it can catch fire and cause a lot of damage, as well as pose a very high risk to your family.
The technician performing the inspection will recommend a chimney cleaning if necessary and will also advise you about any other potential dangers and repairs that need to be done. You can expect to clean your chimney and remove any creosote build up at least every year. Homes that enjoy their fireplace more often will also have to clean the chimney more often.
New Hampshire chimney services should be done by an experienced and qualified technician. The staff at Fireplace Village has the training and expertise to get the job done right and with a wide range of locations across New Hampshire, there is sure to be a technician available in your local area. For the optimum chimney safety, contact a local professional and take care of the hearth maintenance required.
Fireplace Village provides complete chimney cleaning and maintenance service. Contact Fireplace Village today for a quote or to schedule an appointment for your annual chimney service.


Air wash systems will keep your glass doors clear for a good length of time. While performing annual maintenance it’s important to have them cleaned thoroughly with a specially formulated cleaner to bring back an ultra clear shine.
Your pellet stove needs to be completely cooled down for this task to be done and the technician will bring the necessary tools and cleaning supplies to do so. If your pellet stove does not have an air wash system or the system is faulty, this clean up may be a little more extensive and difficult.
Viewing your fire through a clean and clear glass door is wonderful though and worth every penny that the annual maintenance costs.
Fireplace Village provides NFPA Level 1 Safety Inspection and Chimney Cleaning services for all pellet stoves and pellet fireplace inserts. Call 603-645-6263 or email us to schedule an appointment. Beat the fall rush and the fall prices.
