Many People Fighting the Cold and Saving Money on Heating This Winter by Using Napoleon and Lennox Fireplaces

Many People Fighting the Cold and Saving Money on Heating This Winter by Using Napoleon and Lennox Fireplaces











San Francisco, CA (Vocus) December 16, 2009

Thanks to EPA tax credits, incredible pricing and the need for affordable heating options, sales of fireplaces are soaring this year as people recognize the benefits a wood burning, gas or electric fireplace can supply – savings on heating bills, improvement to home resale value and efficient and environmentally friendly energy options. Fireplaces add warmth, ambiance and romance to a living area, creating a focal and gathering point for all.

ChooseFireplacesandStoves.com reaps the benefits of this trend, selling more Napoleon and Lennox fireplaces every day as the weather grows increasingly colder.

Manufactured fireplaces are often installed in homes to improve their value and resale ability. They are terrific selling points for the reasons mentioned above – everyone enjoys the brilliance a blazing fire produces. Now, such fireplaces are simple to install and are bought as a package – simply place one in a home and it’s ready to heat. These manufactured fireplaces are cost-effective and can look as lovely as a traditional masonry fireplace, with its towering chimney, stone or brick construction and, sometimes, a mantel. But manufactured fireplaces are actually safer than masonry ones – during earthquakes, for example, a masonry fireplace is bound to collapse.

According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, people bought 1,882,274 hearth appliances in 2008. The most popular was the gas fireplace, which 54% of people bought. And no wonder – gas fireplaces, available in direct vent, natural or B-vent and vent-free styles, are convenient and economical. One need only supply a gas valve to the fireplace and she is off and running with an efficient option to heating needs. Perhaps the leader in gas fireplaces is Napoleon Fireplaces, which manufactures over 30 options in gas fireplaces. Available in natural gas or propane options, gas fireplaces often come with automatic shut-off valves for safety and work even during power failures thanks to technologically advanced ignition systems. Also, thanks to advancements in gas log sets and ceramic liners, the gas fireplace produces a realistic fire.

The second most popular fireplace is the wood burning fireplace. This type obviously is the most realistic, with real wood being used as fuel. People love the majesty of the flames produced by wood fireplaces and can sit mesmerized by the fire for hours. One of most popular brands of wood burning fireplace is Lennox Fireplaces, which manufacturers more than 35 styles. Some wood burning fireplaces are EPA Phase II certified, meaning they produce a clean burn and thus qualify for the EPA tax credit of up to $ 1500 when purchased and installed in a primary residence. One Lennox fireplace that offers this tax credit and is highly popular at ChooseFireplacesandStoves.com is the Brentwood, a 36 inch fireplace perfect for most homes.

The final type of fireplace is the electric fireplace, which have many advantages. One, they are virtually plug-and-play. One simply installs the electric fireplace wherever he wants, plugs it into a 120V outlet, and the fireplace is ready to work wonders. Usually heater rated, an electric fireplace can warm up a small area of 500-750 square feet. These have come a long way in producing realistic fires, too. Technological advancements have made them safe and efficient; they require no venting so they can go anywhere.

Fireplaces as heating sources have been around since man first invented fire. They really took off in the 1700s when both Ben Franklin and Count Rumford improved fireplace design. However, the social function of the fireplace cannot be ignored, nor can the beauty and warmth of a roaring fire.

RS Andrews Heating & Cooling Joins Nationwide Effort to Protect Homeowners from Indoor Air Pollutants

RS Andrews Heating & Cooling Joins Nationwide Effort to Protect Homeowners from Indoor Air Pollutants










Atlanta (PRWEB) February 7, 2007

RS Andrews Heating & Cooling, Atlanta’s top heating and cooling company, recently joined a group of select HVAC contractors in a nationwide effort to minimize the dangers of indoor air pollution. Asthma, allergies, and dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide are all hazards that families face in their own homes everyday. The Clean Indoor Air Alliance, or CIA2, is dedicated to providing solutions to minimize the discomfort and dangerous effects of indoor air pollution and airborne contaminants present in virtually every home.

The focus on the quality of the air we breathe inside our homes is becoming more important than ever before. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), people spend up to 90% or more of their day indoors, with much of that time taking place at home. “The EPA states that indoor air is two to ten time more hazardous than outdoor air,” stated Jack Dowling, president and owner of RS Andrews Heating & Cooling (http://www.rsandrews.com).

RS Andrews is one of many HVAC contractors nationwide who have decided to come together to combat the hazardous effects of poor air in people’s homes. The group they formed, called the Clean Indoor Air Alliance, or CIA2, is dedicated to giving homeowners options to improve the quality of the air inside their homes.

“The well-constructed or ‘tight’ homes that are being built today may be more energy efficient, but they are also more efficient at holding in dangerous airborne particulates,” commented Jack Dowling. “In fact, asthma and many allergies are attributed to the poor quality of the air in many homes,” he added. RS Andrews Heating & Cooling offers a complete home air quality solution that protects the comfort, health and safety of homeowners and improves the cleanliness of their homes.

Homeowners in the Atlanta area may contact RS Andrews Heating & Cooling for a CIA2 Home Air Quality Test. This test will show homeowners exactly how good or how poor the air in their home happens to be. RS Andrews will also recommend a custom air quality solution that alleviates any air quality problems that are present. “RS Andrews will conduct an air quality test to determine if the air your family is breathing in your home is healthy and clean…or may be contributing to problems such as asthma and allergies…dangers from carbon monoxide, rooms that are too hot or too cold, and even how often you have to dust,” stated Jack Dowling. RS Andrews offers state-of-the-art filtration, ventilation, air purification and airflow systems that improve the quality not just in a singe room, but throughout your entire home.

For more information on the Clean Indoor Air Alliance, visit http://www.betterairnow.com.

Or contact Stacy Kendrick at RS Andrews, 770-454-1800.

Clickfil Addresses Complexities of Heating Oil Price Protection Contracts











Woburn, MA (PRWEB) May 14, 2010

Clickfil, an innovative online heating oil provider, is helping customers decipher the complexities of heating oil price protection plans and make the right choice by releasing a series of articles which can be found at Clickfilosophy.com, the Clickfil blog. The articles, “What You Should Know Before Signing a Price Protection Heating Oil Contract,” “Heating Oil Contacts: Is the Gamble Worth It,” “The Incremental Costs of Price Protection Heating Oil,” and “Is Your Price Protection Investment Safe” are intended to both educate and spark online discussions in the greater Boston area by allowing local heating oil customers to post their comments.

“As heating oil users begin researching options for the upcoming heating oil delivery season, we believe it is important that customers have a resource to learn about the differences between fixed price heating oil plans, cap price heating oil plans, and variable pricing heating oil,” said David Simmons of Clickfil. “Giving customers the scoop on the cost of heating oil will ultimately help cut through the clutter so they can make an informed and smart decision.”

Clickfil is a web-based, oil heat provider for residents and businesses who want to take advantage of the Internet to save money by ordering heating oil and managing their account online. The company has reinvented the way in which home heating oil is provided by offering the most advanced, fully functional and secure website for managing the purchase and delivery of home heating oil, at the click of a mouse. Clickfil can save customers more than 30 cents per gallon on oil heat prices. Founded in 2009, Clickfil is privately held and funded. For more information, visit http://www.clickfil.com.
