Q: What are the disadvantages of a pellet stove?

• <div><p>Although they provide heat, light, and atmosphere, pellet stoves require electricity to run certain parts, which some homeowners may find to be an unfortunate additional expense. They can also produce noises that some may find annoying, like a low rumble from the blower fan or its motor.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between wood, gas, and electric fireplace inserts?

• <div><p>Wood fireplace inserts produce more heat without replacing the whole system. A fireplace installer can verify that you have a connector and chimney system to fit the wood-burning insert.</p><p>Gas fireplace inserts require less maintenance and are an efficient way to produce warmth. Some can also produce heat in the event of a power outage.</p><p>Electric fireplace inserts don't have a real open flame, so they produce flames that mimic a real fire surrounded by artificial logs with LED light. Many electric fireplace inserts produce heat from glowing elements while only using electricity.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my wood stove is leaking carbon monoxide?

• <div><p>The most common sign of a carbon monoxide leak is the visible black soot marks on the walls near your wood stove. An excess accumulation of smoke in other rooms of your home could also indicate that your wood burning stove is leaking carbon monoxide. If you notice either of these signs or are still unsure, it&rsquo;s best to leave the premises and contact your fire department to check your home&rsquo;s levels. </p></div>

Q: Is a fireplace insert safer than a fireplace?

• <div><p>Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.</p><p>Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.</p></div>

Q: How effective are wood-burning stoves?

• <div><p>Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That&rsquo;s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.</p></div>

"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."

"I had purchased an Angie's List deal to clean all my vents for $199 which was needed after finishing my basement in my new home and the heavy construction dust. Make sure you read all the fine print though. I ended up paying more because the cold air return ducts are not included in the deal. They also tried to up sell me on other services such as disinfecting the air ducts which I declined. It can get quite expensive real fast!
The technician originally was going to charge me extra for the ceiling mounted heat registers and I had to point out that they were at 8' and included in the deal price.
Otherwise the technician was polite and respectful of my home and cleaned up after himself. I was happy with the end result.
