Fireplaces

Yes. Cedar is safe to burn in your fireplace, but be careful because it burns fast and hot. It also tends to pop like a bad guys joints in a Chuck Norris film.

I wanted to add to the first answer by telling everyone that not only can you burn cedar, I would highly recommend it. Cedar is an excellent source for kindling (fire-starter), because it burns very hot. The down side is that it also burns very fast. This species is also extremely aromatic, vocal (lots of cracks and pops) and creates a warm glow. Next time your snuggling up with your partner, try starting a fire in your fireplace with some cedar. Once the cedar gets ripping, add some slower burning wood such as maple, oak, poplar, alder, etc. Add a little cedar occasionally to get the crackles going again.

Please don't rush out and cut down a cedar tree. Instead, find some dead fall or buy some at your local conglomerate hardware store. (Hint: split rail fencing is often made of cedar and is awesome to split and burn)

Enjoy.

The benefits of a prefabricated fireplace installation is it is less expensive than the regular fireplaces. It comes the right size to fit in the space provided. The only calculations that will need to be done is the height of the chimney and or flue. The prefabricated fireplaces is quick and easy to install.

this depends on the location you are wanting to put the swamp cooler in a window on the first floor should be easy, on a roof or cutting a hole in a wall or in a window on a 2nd or 3rd floor is much more difficult.

The area beneath and around a fireplace is the hearth.

Fireplaces come in various sizes though most are quadrangular, and use various types of fuel. In general, there is no one standard size and depends on the space and requirements.

Of course. It's a myth that there are certain types of wood that you can't burn in a woodburner. Only make sure softwoods are well-seasoned. Holly will burn green and I have just filled my burner with green stuff cut down yesterday and it is burning well!

With so little information it can be only a guess but.

Look at any fuse that runs on the main line to the heater, any in a plug (UK plus for instance also have 13 amp fuses on board) - Have an electrician check the heating element - these fracture over time and the fires will not work - it might be that it meeds a new element, check there is no cable damage to the fire - Do not try repairs yourself as electric fires can kill

If there is a locally owned fireplace store in your town I would shop there. Walmart, Lowes, and Menards all sell cheap fireplaces. A useful blog that I would use is http://cheapfireplaces.org/

If the fire is in use (especially if it is a coal fire - sooty and often hot) I would not fix a TV there. Otherwise, bolt special mounting plates directly onto the chimney-breast bricks, and run a power cable and aerial lead from the nearest source as neatly as possible, usually behind the skirting-boards. Do not run cables under carpets.

EFireplaceStore and SpecialtyFireplaces are two online locations where one can purchase vented gas logs. They are also available from local hardware stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot.

The biggest difference between an electric fireplace and a regular fireplace is the ability to move it where the heat is needed. A regular fireplace is placed in one area unable to be moved, whereas a electric fireplace can be moved throughout various locations in the house. The only other difference is electric fireplaces require power causing electric bills to go higher, whereas regular fireplaces just require wood.

Type your answer here... what is another term for combution chamber in a furnace or fire place.

Electric Fireplaces use a resistor to "radiate" the heat, rather than a flame. THe "flame" you see is usually a bulb in the background.

I have one with fake fireplace, 8 trak tape player and turntable and Am/FM radio. I am looking for the price also. Does anyone want to buy mine?

Many stores offer electric fireplaces. Most of these stores will have a website where you can visit to see if they sell them. If they do, then you can place your order right from their website.

Septic drainfields and an equal sized replacement area should ideally be located in an area that receives little or no surface disturbance. For example they can't be under driveways, or in a pasture where the ground might be compacted by livestock or farm machinery. Under a lawn or garden is OK because the traffic is light. A few experts think that eating vegetables from a garden over a septic drainfield garden might be a bad idea because of the possibility of the produce extracting germs from the septic system. This is impossible, but there is a slim chance of the drainfield contaminating the vegetables if the drainfield is failed with sewage on the ground. Failed drainfields are obvious with smells and wetness all the time at the surface but some people are too conservative to chance this. Every local county health district or department has rules which explain horizontal and vertical setbacks allowed between all septic components and buildings, water lines, property lines, wells and even certain species of trees. Usually decks are allowed over drainfields as long as the piers of the deck are at least two feet from the drainfield trenches, and as long as the deck footings do not support a roof. If the deck has a roof the setback is usually ten feet, but always check with your local health department.

What could be more relaxing than curling up in front of a fireplace to watch your favorite film. A TV over the fireplace is a great way to get to create a relaxed atmosphere in your living room. This will create a soft focal point that will welcome guests into your home and immediately make them feel at ease.

Between 7 cents to 12 cents an hour depending on the wattage and your electric company.

any type of electric used for heat is expensive. but heating the home is cheaper in the long run because it use's 220 volts of electric heat. were as a fireplace would use 115 volts. which draws more amps then running on 220 volts

Home Depot has the best house appliances and furniture a person can buy at the most affordable prices. The costs for fire place screens at Home Depot can range from fifty to a hundred dollars.

Yes electric fireplace is a great idea for several reasons. I actually got feed up and asked myself the same question, answered it went out and purchased an electric fireplace. Here are the reasons I found it to be a great idea:

1) No need to go out and buy those fire logs or gel fuel

2) No more cleaning, wiping, and wasting time

3) No more worrying about fire hazard

4) Come home after work, click a button; looks like a real fire, heats, and crates the sound. I also have an option of turning any of these on or off.

I am very glad I came across Classic Flame (manufacturer of the fireplace) and ViveDecor.com (who I purchased from).

These guys offer free shipping and I found them to be the lowest: ViveDecor.com

I have a Dimplex. I am not familiar with the Heatilator. We love our Dimplex. Most people are stunned when we tell them it is electric. I'd have to see both and compare. For more details: vivedecor.com

You can purchase Dimplex fireplace inserts online from the Amazon website. Once on the page, type "Dimplex fireplace inserts" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the items.

Personally, I like stone. It gives that home feeling and is more durable and lasts longer than brick.
