Q: How do I know what type of fireplace I currently have?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it&rsquo;s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: Will my chimney have air vents?

• <div><p>Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-hvac-damper.htm">Dampers are</a> metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you&rsquo;ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it&rsquo;s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. </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: Will a pellet stove heat an entire house?

• <div><p>Yes, a pellet stove can heat an entire house&mdash;as long as you choose one that&rsquo;s large enough for that purpose. For context, pellet stoves generate between 8,000 and 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), and you&rsquo;ll need 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot, depending on your climate zone. If you&rsquo;re unsure which size pellet stove to buy, reach out to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/wood-stove-repair/">local pellet or wood stove repair company</a>.</p></div>

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>
