Pittsburgh High Efficiency Fireplaces

Wood Burning Fireplaces should be more than just a decorative room accent. They should add real heat value to your home.

The convenient features, high efficiency and attractive designs of wood fireplaces are what make them such a popular choice for Pennsylvania homeowners.

With a wood burning fireplace, you can enjoy all the benefits of a traditional fireplace without the hassle of constant maintenance.

With a wood-burning stove you can appreciate the soothing aroma and wonderful ambiance of a fireplace with the benefit of increased heat output and reduced emissions. Wood stoves are as efficient as wood-burning fireplace inserts and have the advantage of radiating heat from all sides.

Today’s EPA approved wood stoves produce few emissions. They can be as effective as a furnace and as attractive as a fireplace. Draw your family close around a crackling fire that reduces your environmental impact and lowers your heating bills.

HIGH EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVED CONVENIENCE. Wood burning stoves range in efficiency from 75% to almost 80%. With the increased burn time you can relax in front of your wood-burning stove without worrying about adding logs. Most models offer you the convenience of an automatic ignition system so that you can light a fire in your wood stove at the touch of a button. Due to their improved efficiency, you will discover that a wood-burning stove involves less clean up than a fireplace and is a pleasure to use all winter. With one of the innovative models that we offer, you can zone heat your house and reduce your heating bills with ease.

ECO-FRIENDLY & COST EFFECTIVE. The low cost of wood is one of the greatest advantages of using it to heat your home. It is also a renewable, sustainable resource that allows you to be more self-reliant. While old-fashioned stoves may not have been environmentally friendly, today’s stoves meet or exceed the low emission standards the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set for appliances. The same innovative design that has improved the efficiency of contemporary stoves has improved the combustion system so that the byproducts produced by the fire, which would normally be emitted, are burned up. Many models produce so little smoke they are considered clean burning. Since burning wood releases the same amount of carbon that it would decompose naturally, it is considered a carbon-neutral fuel. You can take pride in choosing an environmentally sound option to heat your home.

Whether you are environmentally conscious or cost conscious, aesthetically driven or practical, a wood-burning stove is an investment you are sure to relish.
