Conjure up magical evenings by the fireplace
On cold days, the cosy warmth of the fireplace warms us up. The room is filled with the smell and crackle of burning wood. The family gathered around the fireplace makes unforgettable memories together.
Who wouldn't want that kind of atmosphere?
Do you want a soothing feeling and warmth during the festive season? Then it's time for a fireplace.
If you don't have a fireplace yet, now is the time to choose the right one for you and your home. It's sure to make the upcoming holidays even more magical.
Why a fireplace?
Because it is fully equivalent to other established biomass heating sources. When properly integrated into the heating system, it can be an extremely economical and comfortable way to heat rooms and domestic hot water. Rooms heated by a fireplace have a special charm. Evenings with a crackling fire give a homely and warm feeling.
When is a fireplace a good choice for you as a heating source?
Fireplace can be the main or supplementary heat source in a building. If the fireplace is to be an additional, decorative source of heat, all that matters is that you have the space and the chimney connection for it.
However, when deciding to make a fireplace your primary source of heat, it is a good idea to consider the specific conditions that the fireplace requires:
- It's good to make sure your building is well insulated and therefore energy efficient,
- you have a place to store pellets or logs,
- you have space for a heat storage tank with a capacity of at least 1 000 litres,
- you're an active person who doesn't mind a bit of extra work to keep your heating running smoothly,
- you would like to have an economical and flexible heating system, independent of electricity and global energy prices.
When do we talk about a fireplace as a primary and when as a supplementary heating source?
Fireplaces and stovesoffered by Seltron, are suitable for both primary and supplementary heating.
Choice of energy source
For correct energy decision, in addition to the price analysis, this is also something to consider, how much extra activity you want to invest in heating each day. If we are away from home a pellet stove is more suitable, although a wood-burning stove also works very autonomously, but such a system needs a storage tank of sufficient capacity.
Hot-water or hot-air fireplace?
Fireplaces blend beautifully into modern interior architecture. For examples of interiors with built-in fireplaces, see -Fireplaces for better living, warmth and comfort.
