Energy is the fireplace that makes use of the flow of hot air to heat a space, taking advantage of the closed type energy hearth it has. This hearth can be made of many materials of enormous fire resistance (ceramic, vermiculite, thermotte or chamotte) and inside it the burning of wood takes place.

A big difference between the conventional and the energy fireplace is that here the entire operation is done with the hearth door closed, as a result of which much higher temperatures develop inside the chamber and therefore warmer air is transported to the space we wish to heat.

Below we will analyze some important aspects related to the energy fireplace, in our effort to present the multifaceted benefits and advantages of this relatively modern heating option. In fact, in separate sections we will refer in more detail to the installation of an energy fireplace so that you can be informed.

However, if you are looking for an energy fireplace specialist, don't trust just any handyman! Attention is needed because as we will see there is a specific procedure for the installation and certain tips that the installer must know, otherwise there may be failures or future problems.

Starting the analysis for the energy fireplace, let's emphasize that it is a fairly efficient option (60-85% efficiency), up to 5 times more efficient than conventional ones. In addition, they are also a fairly green choice, since during their operation the combustion of the produced carbon monoxide in the closed hearth is more complete, resulting in less exhaust gases being emitted into the atmosphere.

It is no coincidence that the purchase and installation of an energy fireplace is financed up to 70% by the home savings subsidy program, which aims to save energy and promotes environmentally friendly solutions. On the contrary, it is another proof of their benefits (both in the environment and in our pocket), but also an important financial incentive.
More generally, however, there are other differences between the conventional and the energy stove. Traditional open-type fireplaces produce heat and heat only where the flame reaches, and thus we have local effects. In addition, the operation of the conventional ones is based on the chimney, which, however, causes a huge heat loss (200-400m³/hr). On the other hand, in the energy fireplace there is no direct contact of the chimney with the interior of the house, as long as the hearth door remains closed.

All this combined with the open hearth results in the calorific efficiency of the wood being burned being only 10-15%, while also causing the need to burn more wood, which in turn pollutes the environment and is the main responsible for the smog phenomenon. Here we should emphasize that with the energy fireplace, a friendly and comfortable atmosphere is also created in the space, as it does not bind the humidity of the space and thus we do not have a dry and stuffy atmosphere inside the house, as usual.

On the other hand, the energy fireplace has the advantage of uniformly heating the walls of the hearth around the perimeter, which remains closed and keeps all the heat inside. Then we choose where this heat will be channeled, significantly limiting the losses and therefore the amount of wood we burn and the pollutants produced.
