Gas fireplace is a great back up heater
Something I have always loved about fireplaces is not only are they beautiful, but they are great back up heaters as well.
- I think my love of gas fireplaces goes back to when I was kid.
When I was a kid, and my parents didn’t want to continue using the central furnace system, they would turn it off, bring out some firewood and then use it to start a fire in the gas fireplace. Then we would sit and watch the flames. It was always such a peaceful time for me, and I really wanted to recreate those memories. My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and my husband is busy making sure everything is perfect before the arrival. He bought most of the baby supplies, made sure I was taken care of food craving wise, and helped me redo our guest room as our nursery. I asked about the fireplace, and he told me he would have the heating and cooling specialist look at it when he comes out to look at the heating and air conditioning system. I wanted to recreate those memories with our future family, and feel those warm flames again. I can’t wait when the winter comes, because not only is that around the time of our future child to be born, but then I can see the gas fireplace come to life with the beautiful crackling flames. I can already picture all of the memories we are going to make around the fireplace, just like my family did when I was a kid.
