Your home is your haven, and selecting the right fireplace or home heating appliance for it takes serious consideration. A fireplace is a unique home system that should combine functionality, aesthetics, and efficiency, all with your life situation and desires in mind.
Whether you’re upgrading an outdated fireplace, considering a new addition, or seeking an alternative heating source, understanding your options will help you make an informed choice. And for quality fireplace installation services, we’re the only team to trust in the Nashville area.
Fireplace Fuel Options & Their Suitability
One of the first factors to weigh is how you’ll be fueling your appliance.
✔ Wood
Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves are a classic choice and create an ambiance and multi-sensory experience that’s paramount in the world of home heating options.
However, they do demand a fair bit of regular maintenance. Wood will need to be chopped or sourced and stored, and ash will need to be cleared. Attention must also be given to the quality of firewood used. If wood is green or damp – and therefore not seasoned – the resulting incomplete combustion can diminish the fireside experience and cause accumulation of nasty byproducts in your flue that will need to be cleared more frequently.
✔ Gas
Gas fueled appliances provide comfort and convenience. Easy to use, they offer instant warmth, opportunities for precision control, and relatively lower maintenance needs – enough to turn the head of any homeowner seeking hassle-free operation. Not to mention, they’re cleaner and more efficient than wood-burning options.
Choosing the Right Appliance Type
Regardless of what fuel type is the right fit for you, you’ll be able to select from a few basic types of appliances as well.
- Traditional Fireplace: Built-in fireplaces present a classic look that adds an elegant focal point to a room. Who is it ideal for? Any homeowner seeking a seamless integration of aesthetics and functionality.
- Fireplace Insert: Fireplace inserts can be installed directly into an existing fireplace, transforming it into an upgraded and more efficient heat source. If you want a boost in efficiency without major renovations, want an opportunity for increased control over your heating process, or you’re wanting to convert your fuel source, an insert is a great option.
- Freestanding Stove: Stoves offer flexibility in placement, charm, and great heat output. If you’re after adaptable, cozy, and efficient heating, a freestanding stove may be for you.
Each of these options come in a family of styles. We carry a wide range of gas and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves – all certain to optimize the appearance and functionality of your room.
We put our years of industry experience to work in finding companies we trust for their track record of product quality, craftsmanship, and efficiency. This spells peace of mind and decreased energy costs for our customers and a result they’ll enjoy for years to come. After all, we wouldn’t want to install anything less than what we’d want in our own homes.

At times, cosmetic upgrades like refacing the fireplace surround or adding an updated mantle will be just the ticket for breathing new life into a room. This is a cost-effective option for those satisfied with their fireplace’s functionality, but seeking a new look.
