Benefits of a gas fireplace
- Most gas fireplaces operate without electricity, which is handy during a power outage
- All the ambiance of a wood-burning fireplace without all the soot and smoke
- No wood to chop and no ashes to clean up
- No sparks or creosote build-up in the chimney to cause fires
- Automatic safety shut-off
- Remote control operation (optional)
- Economical secondary source of heat
- Better for the environment with fewer particle pollutants than an open, wood-burning fireplace
Look for the EnerChoice logo

But only the top 25 per cent qualify for the EnerChoice logo.The EnerChoice system helps you identify energy efficiency and heating ability. On a scale of 1 to 100, the higher the number, the better the energy efficiency and the more heat output consumers get for their heating dollar.
