Q: Do electric fireplaces give off a lot of heat?

• <div><p>Electric fireplaces give off more heat than you might think. Because they don&rsquo;t lose heat through a ventilation system, which is required for wood-burning and gas fireplaces, they&rsquo;re able to disperse more heat into the room. However, many electric fireplaces are limited to a max of 5,000 or 5,200 BTU heat output, and you can get more from traditional fireplaces. </p></div>

Q: Where is the best place to install a wood stove in a house?

• <div><p>The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.</p></div>

Q: What wood should not be burned?

• <div><p>While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or &ldquo;green wood,&rdquo; should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it&rsquo;s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.</p></div>

Q: How far should an outdoor wood furnace be from the house?

• <div><p>Your state, city, or even homeowners insurance company may have requirements on how far the outdoor wood furnace should be from the house, so be sure to abide by those regulations. In general, you should install an outdoor wood furnace or boiler as few as 30 feet or as much as 500 feet from the house or any other building.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a stove myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety and venting requirements. Professional installation ensures proper operation and compliance with codes.</p></div>
