Gas Logs For Your NJ Home

The calendar might say it’s still fall, but it definitely feels like winter out there! And now that the holidays are upon us, most people are looking to spend time with their loved ones. Many people will do that in the comfort of their warm NJ homes.

But what’s the best way to make your NJ home even cozier and more inviting for your guests? Guardian Chimney has a suggestion: why not buy gas logs for your NJ home? Gas logs are known as one of the most efficient, environmentally friendly and versatile fireplaces in the world. Gas logs in your NJ home would be the perfect complement to your holiday season. Imagine opening your holiday gifts in your NJ home with gas logs burning brightly in the background. Or, if you don’t think you’ll have time for a gas log installation before Christmas, there are still plenty of cold months ahead after the holiday season is over, so you and your family and friends would have plenty of time to enjoy it before the weather warms up!

Here are a few reasons you should contact Guardian Chimney about gas logs installation for your NJ home:

• For simplicity’s sake: gas logs are easily turned on and off by either turning a valve or hitting a button on a remote control. They are in their place permanently, which means you turn them on and off and don’t have to think about their position or changing them out for real wood.
• For money’s sake: gas logs are very cost effective. They cost a fraction of what wood logs would cost.
• For efficiency’s sake: they do not require electricity to work. They are a fantastic source for light and heat, especially during a power outage, and you don’t have to worry about restocking and paying for firewood every year.
• For the environment’s sake: gas logs burn more cleanly than wood logs and help reduce air pollutants. There is no danger of flying ash or sparks, and you don’t have to worry about creosote build-up in your chimneys.

These are only a handful of reasons you should get in touch with Guardian Chimney about a gas log installation in your NJ home. These gas logs are a perfect fit for almost every NJ home! Imagine you and your family and friends gathered around one of these toasty fireplaces while the cold air and biting wind rage around outside.

The Importance of Chimney Inspections in Hudson County

Fall is here! Go outside just about anywhere in Hudson County, and you can see that the leaves have all changed colors – most trees have completely lost their leaves in preparation for the upcoming winter. Thanksgiving will be here in a few short weeks (Hannukah too!) and Christmas is right around the corner. Are you winterizing your house yet? Don’t forget about your chimney! Guardian Chimney offers chimney inspections for Hudson County and the surrounding areas.

Why are chimney inspections so important? First and foremost, it’s crucial for fire safety. Creosote is produced by the burning of wood or coal in fireplaces. It builds up when wood or coal burns incompletely and produces soot and tarry smoke. When creosote builds up in excess, it can cause a chimney fire. Any debris that gets into your chimney, like leaves, birds’ nests and branches can also cause a fire. Getting your chimney inspected and cleaned annually can potentially save your house from a fire, not to mention your family and your belongings!

Plus, if your chimney is not properly ventilated, this could lead to the smoke backing up in the chimney and filling your home with potentially harmful smoke. Getting your chimney inspected can keep this from happening and ensure that your home is not filled with this dangerous smoke by ensuring there is proper ventilation.

When a chimney inspector comes to your home, they will look at the bricks and mortar to make sure they are in good condition. The flue liner and tiles will also be looked at, as will the amount of creosote that has built up. If it’s been awhile since your chimney has been swept, the chimney inspector will recommend you get that done before lighting the first fire of the season. The gasket around your fireplace’s glass doors (if they have them) will also be inspected to make sure they aren’t defective. The brick lining in the firebox will also be inspected for any broken or deteriorated bricks.

Taking the time and spending a few bucks to get your chimney inspected could save you a world of hassle in the long run, and it will make your winter fireplace fun much more safe for you and your whole family!
