So you are looking to buy a new indoor fireplace for your home? An important thing I would recommend you consider early on is what the energy efficiency ratings on the fireplaces that you are interested in are. To assist in finding the right indoor fireplace with higher energy efficiency ratings look for the EnerGuide Fireplace Efficiency Rating on those fireplaces you are considering.
Questions to ask yourself when you start shopping for that special indoor fireplace:
-What price range can you afford?
-What style of fireplace will match your homes décor?
-How large is the room it will be installed in?
-How often will the indoor fireplace get used?
-Must have features on your indoor fireplace?
-Features you would like but not critical?
Common features of fireplaces that have higher energy efficiency ratings:
-Direct vent fireplace.
-Ceramic glass.
-Intermittent or automatic electronic ignition system.
-Secondary heat exchanger.
-Insulated outer casing.
-A quiet squirrel cage-type circulating fan.
-Automatic or variable setting control to adjust temperature.
Other things to consider:
-Have a certified professional install your fireplace.
-Shop and review the various models on the market, take your time.
-Carefully review the warranty to clearly see what is and is not covered.
Once installed, plan to have your indoor fireplace serviced at least once a year by a certified professional.
