[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you do that? A wood burning fireplace is magical. I understand you don't like it personally, but most people do - and it would be a good selling point. [/quote] Most people have no idea how to build a fire. It’s a pain to source decent firewood and store it, and to lug into the house. You can’t build a wood fire just for a little while. You have to safely dispose of the ashes. It’s messy. And it generally sucks more heat up the chimney than generates it for the home. Our fireplaces/chimneys were improperly built so that any gusts of wind would send sparks into our house, and living at the foot of a mountain this meant we couldn’t use them very often. So yeah, transitioning to gas has been one of the best improvements we’ve made to our house. [/quote]
