How do you keep hot in your home? Some people don’t have the luxury of keeping hot in a apartment because they can’t afford a system to keep them comfortable during the chilly winters.
My buddy and I know that some of these systems can cost an arm and a leg to install.
But if you happen to have some extra money then maybe invest in a cheap fireplace. A fireplace is a beautiful addition to any home, providing warmth, comfort, and a cozy atmosphere during the colder months. However, it is important to use it properly to ensure safety and maximize its efficiency. Here are some tips to keep in mind: Inspect your chimney: Before using your fireplace, have your chimney ran tests on by a certified chimney sweep to ensure it is disinfect and free of any obstructions. Use dry, old wood: Only burn dry, old wood in your fireplace to reduce the risk of creosote buildup and chimney fires, then keep the damper open: Keep the damper open while the fire is burning to allow smoke to escape. Close the damper once the fire is out to prevent heat from escaping up the chimney. Use a fireplace screen: Use a fireplace screen to prevent sparks and embers from jumping out of the fireplace and potentially starting a fire. Install a carbon monoxide detector: Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that can build up in your apartment when using a fireplace. Make sure to install a carbon monoxide detector in your apartment to ensure your safety. By following these instruction, you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your fireplace while also keeping your apartment safe and energy-efficient.
