Does reducing your carbon footprint mean giving up the fireplace of your dreams?
With all that’s happening in the environment these days, you wouldn’t want to contribute to harmful emissions any more than necessary. This means getting a traditional fireplace would probably not be your best choice.
Traditional wood and gas fireplaces are harmful for both people and the environment because they pollute the air.
They pollute indoor air by producing emissions that are widely recognized as harmful to human health.
They also create a significant amount of outdoor air pollution. For example, in Oregon, the pollution caused by wood-burning fireplaces equals that of a large wildfire according to the DEQ.

Gas fireplaces are better than wood when it comes to indoor air pollution. However, they still have a significant impact on our planet.
Burning fossil gas for fuel contributes to climate change. Methane gas leaks happen all the time and some think that they can have even worse effect than burning coal.
There are two types of fireplaces you should consider if you care about the environment and air quality: electric fireplaces and water vapor fireplaces.
Both use electricity as their energy source. They create flame imitation using energy efficient LED lights, and they don't release harmful emissions.
These fireplaces are also safe for your children and pets because they stay cool to the touch!
