When you think of developing your basement or another part of your home, one of the parts most often overlooked is the temperature of that area. Picture all the expense and effort to develop a basement, only to find that it’s not quite comfortable enough to spend time there. Develop a sunroom or solarium on the back of you home and think of the many pleasant times you will have there with an energy efficient direct vent fireplace or gas fired space heater. www.napoleon.ca

The new style of fireplace is easily installed on an outside wall. You can even have a TV above them or build them into a bookcase. You are only limited by your imagination. This new generation of heater is more efficient than most furnaces and comes with options such as fans, thermostats, remote controls and even trim to complement any style of home. For example one, Napoleon Direct Vent Fireplace boasts about 40,000 different combinations using the various trim, bricks etc.

If you have an existing open wood burning fireplace you know how much heat you lose when it’s operating. Most of these units are fine for looks but once they are burning they pull warm air from your home into them to burn. They will even draw air into the fireplace through cracks in your outside wall or under the front door. If you are like most people you don’t fire these up without getting a draft throughout the house. A great option is to install a direct vent fireplace insert into the masonry fireplace, with a fan installed and all the air for combustion coming from the dedicated inlet pipe and exhaust out another, this unit supplies only warmth to the room. The whole combustion process is separated from the home.
