Zone Heating Saves You Money, Warms Your Home Efficiently

November 23, 2009 in Energy Efficiency, Gas Log Benefits by Fast Fireplaces | 2 comments

Tired of paying a high central heating bill during the winter months?  Zone heating can lower your monthly heating bill by 20-40% while heating only the rooms you’re using and beautifying your home.

Zone heating with a heating appliance like vent free gas logs saves you money in several ways.  Ventless gas logs are a 99% efficient heating source, whereas the average central heating unit is only 85% efficient.  Your central heating system cycles on and off frequently, and loses efficiency as it warms up each time, similar to a car burning gas in stop-and-go traffic.  By contrast, vent-free gas logs take almost no time to warm up, and provide a steady, even heat.

Zone heating also saves you money by heating only the rooms that you are using, which allows you to turn down the thermostat on your central heat.  In addition, you can eliminate the tug-of-war that inevitably happens over the thermostat when the upstairs is too hot and the downstairs is too cold.  A set of unvented gas logs in the downstairs living areas or in the basement allows everyone in the house to have the exact temperature they desire.

Natural gas and propane gas logs are also a dependable source of heat.  If your electricity goes out, your central heating may go out as well, leaving you in the cold.  But natural gas and propane heating don’t depend on electricity to run, so even during a power outage, your house will be warm in cozy.  You’ll also have a beautiful source of light from the dancing flames!

FastFireplaces.com has a full selection of Peterson and Monessen vent-free gas logs for you to choose from.  These gas log sets burn clean natural gas and propane, and do not require a chimney or any venting to install.  Come check us out for the lowest prices on the Internet, guaranteed!

    not only can ventless fireplaces save you a ton but the main draw is that you can get up to a $1500 tax credit which can be pretty substantial. This type of zone heating is better for the environment.

    the idea of having to heat-up only the portion of your house which requires the warmth is truly enticing; it’s a great savings actually especially when you live in big houses.
