FIREPLACE INSERTS ARE VERY POPULAR NOW!

Posted by: John  :  Category: Inserts

Many of our customers come to us and tell us that they are tired of sitting in front of that old masonry fireplace watching all that heat go up the chimney. Traditional open fireplaces can have an efficiency rating as low as 15% and, other than the enjoyment of the fire, they can draw heat out of the house.

We have a great selection of gas or wood inserts that are designed to turn almost any open metal or masonry fireplace into a very efficient source of heat and enjoyment. Our gas inserts achieve efficiency ratings as high as 86% and, in some cases, can heat a major portion of the house.

In addition to the efficiency of these inserts, you can customize the look and feel of the fireplace. We offer a large selection of attractive faces, clean looking surround panels and optional firebrick selections. In most cases you and your guests will think that the fireplace was designed to be that complementary to your home.

A big plus in our gas inserts is our patented Ember-Fyre combustion burner system whick delivers both efficient heat and and an appearance similar to a real wood fire. Our customers also love the ease of use of the remote control and the dynamic fan system which keeps the heat coming.

Many of our rural customers love the convenience of wood inserts. A wood burning insert can keep you warm and self-sufficient in the event of bad weather or an electrical outage. Wood inserts heat evenly utilizing our new combustion chambers. Smokeless start-up and reloading are a unique part of our product offering. With our wood inserts fires burn longer and with greater efficiency and they are EPA approved.

We have extensive displays of both wood and gas inserts in our Gilroy showroom at 6205 Engle Way (408-842-6570) and our showroom in San Carlos at 1300 Industrial Road, #17 (650-593-1496. Come on in and get out of the cold!

GREEN HEARTH PRODUCTS CAN SAVE YOU MONEY!

Posted by: John  :  Category: Uncategorized

“Green can save you cash” is a concept that should arouse the interest of consumers looking at purchasing fireplaces and stoves in the coming months. The cost of central heating is on the rise and the joy and warmth of a glowing fire can result in more than just saving money.

Energy House is committed to providing green products that also save money. Each of our products is designed to focus on fuels that not only provide superior ambiance and warmth, these fireplaces and stoves are great for the environment. A green hearth product produces significant environmental advantages. These advantages include reduced carbon footprint, sustainability, fuel renewability and much improved efficiency.

Some of present customers came to us thinking that wood stoves smoke, pellet stoves are dirty and natural gas is imported and costly. What they found out was that our stoves are tested to strict standards for efficiency and are designed for minimal impact on the environment. Most of our products are a greener alternative to traditional central heating systems. We also know that not one fuel is right for everyone and we have trained our consultants to carefully evaluate each individual situation. Our customers want to be environmentally friendly and we are committed to helping them accomplish that, as well as add value to their home and save money keeping it warm.

WOOD IS SUSTAINABLE AND RENEWABLE. Burning wood does not leave a carbon footprint. Our EPA rated stoves and fireplaces reduce emissions dramatically if burned correctly. Many of our customers have a ready supply of wood on their property while others support the local economy by seeking out a local supplier.

PELLETS ARE A BIOMASS FUEL MADE FROM WASTE PRODUCTS FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES. An advantage of pellet stoves is that they can be controlled to burn only the amount of pellets needed for the desired amount of heat. However, pellets are bulky to store and the reliance of pellet stoves on electricity dilute their attractiveness in the event of power outages. However, they provide an alternative for those who enjoy a real wood fire.

NATURAL GAS IS A CLEAN BURNING FUEL. Gas is relatively inexpensive and is readily available in our urban areas. Dust and ash are never a problem with gas and gas keeps on working in electrical power outages.

There is a place for green fireplaces and stoves as well as standard entertaining products. It is critical to understand the role of the mixture of function and entertainment. The big advantage of Energy House is that we have a wide range of choices for every need.

Energy House factory-trained consultants provide a source of valuable information for consumers. Any consumer that wants to have a fireplace or insert that is environmentally friendly, as well as economical, should come in discuss needs with our team. We have showrooms in Gilroy at 6205 Engle Way (408-842-6570) and at 1300 Industrial Road in San Carlos (650-593-1496).
