If the ambience and aroma of a real wood-burning fireplace, the crack and snap of logs, and the pleasure derived from stirring the embers and seeing them flare to life in response is your preference, wood burning fireplace, such as our Lennox line would be your natural choice.
Decorative fireplaces are generally know for fun, recreational burning and not for heating your home. Even with a blower, these fireplaces are not considered heaters although a significant amount of radiant heat is generated. At Hechler's we recommend you carefully study your choice of fireplace when building or remodeling and consider if upgrading your fireplace choice to an EPA certified fireplace if heating the home is desired.
