The Charm of Wood Fireplaces
Wood fireplaces offer an authentic, crackling ambiance and the natural aroma of burning logs. However, they require more upkeep, including regular chimney cleaning to remove creosote and ash.
The Convenience of Gas Fireplaces
On the other hand, gas fireplaces provide instant heat with the flip of a switch and require less maintenance. Since they burn cleaner, there’s no creosote buildup, but they still need annual inspections.
Climate Considerations for Houston Homes
For Houston residents, climate can also influence the decision. Gas fireplaces are more efficient for mild winters, offering zone heating without the mess of wood.
