How to Choose the Right Fireplace for Your Toronto Home
1. Decide Between Gas and Electric
- Gas Fireplaces: Ideal for homes with existing gas lines or those that need higher heat output. Great for large spaces or as a backup during power outages.
- Electric Fireplaces: Easy to install, perfect for condos, basements, or apartments where venting isn’t possible. Lower upfront cost and maintenance.
✅ Tip: If you’re in a condo, electric fireplaces are often the most practical option — no venting required.
2. Consider Your Home’s Layout
- Open-Concept Spaces: Opt for a central fireplace with high heat output.
- Tight Areas or Corners: Choose a wall-mounted or insert unit to save floor space.
- Two-Storey Homes: Zone heating can help reduce strain on your furnace.
✅ Think ahead: Some installations may need structural framing or wall clearance.
