I bought a propane fireplace a few years ago, as well as I unquestionably entirely enjoyed using it.
It is not that cold here where I live even during the winter time months, so I hated turning my boiler on because it cost quite a bit of money in electricity to run it. I did use my boiler for a few winters, however then, I stopped using it because I got sick of the high electric bill. It would be warm some mornings as well as cold other mornings, so I had to turn my boiler on as well as off all of the time anyways. It was just a pain. I ended up going a couple of months one winter time without using any type of heater, as well as that was cheaper, however I got quite chilly at times. My buddy advised that I get a propane fireplace since propane is cheaper than electricity. I took her advice, as well as I bought a propane fireplace. I used that propane fireplace for about three years. It worked great! It had a little bit of a propane smell which I did not particularally care for, however it was not too bad. I got used to it after a little while, as well as I usually could not smell it at all; Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that my fireplace was having trouble with igniting! After a few mornings of struggling to light it, it finally stopped lighting altogether. I had a buddy come over as well as check it out, as well as she said that it needed a new thermocouple. I bought one, as well as she will be installing it next week, as well as I truthfully can’t wait to have a laboring fireplace once again.
