When some people think of fireplaces, they think about wood-burning models that can be messy and difficult to maintain. Installing a gas fireplace is an easier way to create ambiance in your home. If you’re interested in installing a new fireplace, Abbey Road Chimney Sweeps suggests choosing gas logs over wood. You won’t have to worry about splitting, buying, or storing firewood ever again—and you’ll be able to start a fire with the flip of a switch.

Here are three reasons why these Dayton area experts recommend gas fireplaces and logs to their clients:

• Safe: Gas fireplaces are safer to light, clean, and maintain. Natural gas burns cleaner than many other fuel sources. Since these fireplaces don’t rely on wood logs, you don’t have to worry about stray embers leading to house fires. Not having a pile of wood near the house also reduces your risk of attracting pests like termites.
• Affordable: When using a gas fireplace, all you have to pay for is the installation, upkeep, and gas usage. With dropping fuel prices, this is more appealing to families who want a more cost-effective way to heat their homes.
• Easy: Purchasing a gas fireplace allows you to step away from the chopping block and keep your hatchet in the storage shed until spring time. There’s no need to store kindling or cut firewood. With gas logs, all you have to do is turn a knob or flip a switch to ignite the burner. Since gas logs don’t produce creosote, both fireplace cleaning and chimney cleaning can be completed more quickly and efficiently.

From maintenance and cleaning to the actual cost of using, gas fireplaces are more affordable and efficient than traditional fireplaces. To learn more about Abbey Road Chimney Sweeps, call (937) 833-0505 or visit them online for a complete list of services.
