Q: What is the best wood stove to heat the whole house?

• <div><p>To ensure your wood stove heats the whole house, measure the square footage of your home and choose a wood stove designed to heat that amount of space. More efficient wood stoves, such as those made of soapstone or those with catalytic combustors, can more easily heat larger spaces for less money. </p></div>

Q: Can you use Windex to clean gas fireplace glass?

• <div><p>You should not use Windex or any other ammonia-based glass cleaners when cleaning the glass doors or glass front panel of a gas fireplace. Instead, remove the glass and lay it on a soft surface, like a drop cloth or towel. Then clean it using a specialty fireplace glass cleaner purchased at a hardware store or online. If the glass is relatively clean, you can get away with a vinegar and water solution, but tougher stains will require a specialized cleaner. </p></div>

Q: Should you block both the top and bottom of your chimney?

• <div><p>You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.</p></div>

Q: Is a gas fireplace cheaper than wood?

• <div><p>The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-fireplace-or-woodstove-cost.htm">install a wood-burning fireplace</a> insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.</p></div>

Q: Can I operate my electric fireplace without the remote?

• <div><p>Yes, you can operate an electric fireplace (and other types of fireplaces) without the remote. If you&rsquo;ve misplaced the remote or are waiting for the replacement to arrive, you can still control the fireplace at the access panel. You can find the access panel near the firebox, typically located at the bottom or top of this section.</p></div>
