Q: How can you keep a house warm with single-pane windows?

• <div><p>Single-pane windows might let in the cold, but if you&rsquo;re not ready for a long-term solution or window replacement, there are quick fixes to keep your space warmer. Start by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-winterize-your-windows-and-doors.htm">sealing gaps with weatherstripping</a> or caulking around the frame to block drafts. For an extra barrier, apply window insulation film to the glass, trapping an air pocket between the film and the window. Thick curtains or thermal drapes can also help keep the chill at bay. And if you&rsquo;re in a pinch and looking to get creative, bubble wrap can provide a surprisingly effective layer of insulation&mdash;just spritz the window with water and press it on, bubble side in. </p></div>

Q: How long can I run a ventless fireplace?

• <div><p>Even though ventless fireplaces are safe to use overall, you shouldn&rsquo;t let them run for more than a few hours per day. It&rsquo;s also important to make sure the room with the fireplace is well-ventilated. If not, the water vapor from the fire could increase the humidity levels in your home, potentially resulting in mold growth.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a bioethanol fireplace?

• <div><p>A liter of bioethanol costs $11 and burns for around four hours, making it cost around $2.75 per hour to keep your bioethanol fireplace running. For comparison, natural gas costs around $0.50 per hour, and propane costs around $1.60 per hour. </p><p>How much it costs you to run your bioethanol fireplace largely depends on how often you use it. Hypothetically speaking, if you run your fireplace for four hours a week year-round, you&rsquo;ll go through one liter of biofuel per week or about $570 per year to run the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: Is a wood stove or fireplace better for heating?

• <div><p>Both wood stoves and fireplaces are effective at heating, but wood stoves are more efficient, meaning more of the fuel is converted to heat rather than lost. Wood stoves, depending on the capacity, can also heat larger spaces, while fireplaces are better for heating smaller areas, like an individual room.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my chimney is safe to use?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote&mdash;a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar&mdash;it&rsquo;s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.</p></div>
