More than just decoration – Gas Fireplaces

• Usually the most efficient choice
• Low maintenance
• Ideal for heating the home, especially during blackouts or winter weather

A gas fireplace is a true investment into your home – and can often increase the value of your home by double the initial cost of the fireplace! Gas fireplaces are often installed with a tube vent rather than a full chimney – meaning less upkeep and maintenance for you – and lighting your fireplace can be as easy as flicking a switch.

More than simply creating a warm, cozy environment in any room, gas fireplaces can also help reduce your heating bill during the winter when you combine them with other heating sources, like your furnace. While your family enjoys time together in front of the warm fire, the furnace can usually be turned down elsewhere to save heating the unused areas of your home.

In a storm or blackout, most natural gas fireplaces will operate without a power source – a great way to keep your family safe and warm!

Maintenance-free comfort for any room – Electric Fireplaces

• A Safe choice for children and pets
• Almost 100% maintenance-free, minimal installation, and versatile enough for any room
• Environmentally-friendly

Looking for the soothing look and feel of a fireplace – but worried about the safety of your children or pets?

Many electric fireplaces can operate without heat and include the option of a glass piece that is cool to the touch, making it a safe choice for curious fingers. It also lets you enjoy the ambiance of your fireplace throughout the summer!

An electric fireplace also lets you be environmentally-friendly with no emissions or pollution – in fact, maintaining your electric fireplace can be as easy as changing a lightbulb!

Installation is usually just as simple, and the versatility of an electric fireplace means you can enjoy it in almost any room of your home.

A tradition as old as Mankind – Wood-burning Fireplaces

• Gives a true traditional atmosphere
• Provides an excellent amount of warmth
• Wood is a sustainable resource

Man’s relationship with fire goes back deep into our history, and the rich smell and crackle of a wood fire evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and tradition come to life. There’s nothing quite like a real wood-burning fire.

If your home is already equipped with a chimney, installing a wood-burning fireplace insert is often easy and Durston Plumbing & Heating’s service team can ensure it’s properly installed and W.E.T.T certified. Wood-burning stoves also make an excellent choice for your cottage by the lake.

Wood is a sustainable resource and – with the latest technology blowing the heat into your home rather than to the outdoors – is can help heat a room during the winter or during a storm or blackout, since it isn’t dependent on supply lines.
