Ecoteck Elena Pellet StoveLooking for an eco-friendly and stylish way to heat your home this winter?  Look no further than Ecoteck pellet stoves, the newest addition to FastFireplaces.com.  Ecoteck’s mission is a simple one – to create beautiful and efficient heating devices that are sustainable as well.  Ecoteck pellet stoves run on compressed wood pellets made by compacting sawdust and wood waste from saw mills, carpentry and other manufacturing operations.  Wood pellets burn very cleanly and have a higher heat output per pound than traditional wood.

Ecoteck pellet stoves are also at the top of the industry for design and function.  In 2009, the Ecoteck Elena (pictured at right) won a Vesta Award for Pellet Stove & Insert design, the most prestigious award in the hearth industry.  The look and function of these modern pellet stoves is second to none – an Ecoteck is sure to be a conversation piece in your home.

Even better, these eco-friendly products qualify for a 30% Residential Energy Federal Tax Credit up to $1,500, which means $1,500 off the bottom line of your tax bill, until the end of 2010.  This is a fantastic time to cash in off of the government while doing something good for your home and for the environment.

Bio Flame Pure Modern Fireplace

Bio flame Pure Modern Fireplace

Looking for a fireplace to accentuate your modern decor?  Look no further than the Bio Flame collection of modern fireplaces, new at FastFireplaces.com!  We now offer the full line of Bio Flame fireplaces, which feature sleek, contemporary designs in steel, glass, and flame.  Clean lines and spare elegance come standard with these pieces. Bio Flame fireplaces will attract attention in any room, whether ablaze or not.

Bio Flame is also an eco-friendly fireplace.  These green fireplaces burn bioethanol, a renewable biofuel derived from corn, sugar cane, and other crops.  When burned, this fuel produces no smoke, soot, or harmful gases, which is healthier for you, and for the environment.  This fuel is readily available – it can be purchased from some gas stations and ordered on the Internet.  Operation of these designer fireplaces is simple – just pour the biofuel into the burner pan, light, and enjoy a fire for hours.

These contemporary fireplaces need no venting, electrical wires, or gas lines, which means that they can be installed just about anywhere in the house.  Just hang one on the wall, or position it on the floor, wherever you like, and you’re good to go – no need for professional installation.  Designed to complement most modern styles of decor, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect spot for a Bio Flame fireplace.

Right now, these modern fireplaces qualify for a 30% federal tax credit.  Why?  They burn bioethanol, and appliances that run on biofuels qualify for the credit. That means 30% of the purchase price comes straight off your final tax bill.  This credit is set to expire at the end of 2010, so there’s not much more time to take advantage of it.
