Q: What’s the difference between an outdoor wood furnace vs. an outdoor wood boiler?

• <div><p>The main difference between an outdoor wood furnace versus an outdoor wood boiler is what each appliance is heating. An outdoor wood furnace burns wood to create heat, which warms the air and moves it through the ducts in your home. An outdoor wood boiler uses the heat from burning wood to warm water, which goes through pipes to radiators in the home.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint a fireplace with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.</p></div>

Q: What is considered the hearth of a fireplace?

• <div><p>A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they&rsquo;ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they&rsquo;ll simply go out.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair a gas fireplace myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety risks. Hire professionals for proper diagnosis and repair.</p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace make home insurance more expensive?

Gas and electric inserts are less likely to bring up your insurance rates, but you should always speak with your agent to understand how installing any type of fireplace will affect your premiums. </p></div>
