Invest in an energy-efficient, clean-burning fireplace insert to enjoy fires that warm your house and reduce air pollution associated with conventional fireplaces. (An open fireplace can draw as much as 300 cubic feet of heated room air up the chimney every minute.) Learn more from “This Old House.”

Popular brands include Lopi, Regency and Vermont Castings. These attractive inserts let you enjoy your fireplace more knowing you are doing less harm to the environment. Contact a local business that installs wood-burning fireplace inserts here.

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.
