Traditional Prefab Fireplaces vs High Efficiency Wood Burning Fireplaces
Not every wood-burning fireplace is designed for the same purpose. Some homeowners want a beautiful traditional fireplace for ambiance, occasional fires, and a classic focal point. Others want a serious wood-burning heating system that can provide meaningful supplemental heat during cold weather or power outages.
That is why Premier Chimney and Roofing separates wood-burning fireplaces into two main categories: traditional prefab wood burning fireplaces and high efficiency wood burning fireplaces.
Traditional prefab fireplaces, such as many Majestic and Superior fireplace systems, are ideal for homeowners who want the look and feel of a real wood-burning fireplace with attractive design options and a more affordable installation path.
High efficiency wood burning fireplaces, such as RSF fireplace systems, are designed for homeowners who want stronger heating performance, longer burn times, cleaner combustion, and greater energy independence.
