Clean-Burning Fireplaces

You’re right to worry about the air pollution and energy waste caused by conventional indoor fireplaces. (An open fireplace can draw as much as 300 cubic feet of heated room air up the chimney every minute.) But good options exist!
Wood burning fireplace inserts are energy-efficient, cause far less air pollution and reduce the amount of wood needed. These attractive inserts also let you enjoy your fireplace more knowing you are doing less harm to the environment. (Hint: an insert would make a great family holiday gift!)
Learn more about wood burning fireplace inserts from a local business that installs them here. Popular brands include Lopi, Regency and Vermont Castings. Other fireplace options are explained here.
Start planning now as there is high demand and some supply chain related delays.

Every month when you pay your electric bill, you pay for a ComEd energy-efficiency program that is free for all but that few take advantage of. Find out how you can have a (fully-masked) ComEd energy-efficiency advisor tour your house and advise you. (If you prefer, you can arrange for a virtual tour.) ComEd will also leave you with, or send you, free energy-saving products like LED bulbs. They will also advise you on natural gas efficiency issues.
Find out more about this energy and money saving program here and let us know how it goes!
