fuel prices mean heating your
home can take a bite out of your
budget, you can reduce home
heating costs and protect your
property by following a few simple
money-saving tips:
• Check your roof. Replace
loose or missing shingles, and be
sure the flashing around the chim-
ney or vent pipe is watertight.
• Look for leaks around doors,
windows and the entry points for
pipes and ducts. Apply caulk,
weather stripping, plastic or door
sweeps as necessary to seal off
leaks and prevent drafts.
• Visit a home improvement
center to find out how much insu-
lation is recommended for homes
in your area, then check the insu-
lation in your attic to be sure it’s
adequate.

This means not setting it above

because it will not heat your home

consumers looking to add
ambiance and comfort to a home
are turning to fireplaces. Accord-
ing to the Hearth, Patio & Barbe-
cue Association, shipments of
hearth products grew by 8 percent
last year.
Many of these products reflect
a growing trend—fireplaces that
require nothing more than an
electrical outlet to operate.
Demand for electric fireplaces rose
27 percent in 2005. Experts say
that in terms of flexibility and
convenience, no other hearth
product type matches electric.
Electric fireplaces require mini-
mal installation and can go practi-
cally anywhere in the home
because they do not require a
chimney.
Consumers looking for an easy
remodeling project that can add a
little ambiance to a room or
warmth to a chilly bedroom or
bathroom often turn to electric
fireplaces. And since electric fire-
places do not burn wood, there is
no ash to clean up or wood to
haul.
Electric fireplaces are also
highly efficient to operate because
there’s no wasted energy going up
the chimney. It only costs about 15
cents per hour to run an electric
unit. If you’re paying for a dollar’s
worth of electricity, you’re getting
a dollar’s worth of heat out of your
fireplace.
In addition, since there’s no vent-
ing or complex installation
required, many see electric fire-

places as an affordable option, espe-
cially as a second or third fireplace
for a home.
Today’s electric fireplaces
employ advanced illumination
technologies to re-create a wood-
burning experience. New models
such as the Heat & Glo Crestfire
or Heatilator Silhouette also fea-
ture a brilliant ember bed and a
substantial grate and log set to
add to the appeal.
These models can be used with
or without the standard heaters,
meaning the “flames” can be
enjoyed anytime, anywhere with-
out worrying about heat. They
also offer instant gratification.
Within minutes, the Crestfire or
Silhouette models can be installed
and plugged in. A variety of cabi-
nets, fronts and finishes are
available to match home decors
and reflect the homeowner’s
tastes.
