It may seem like a chore and a half, especially if you’ve neglected cleaning your wood-burning fireplace for a while, and although at first it may seem a little overwhelming, there are expert tips available on how best to clean your fireplace.
Nothing comes close to the warmth and ambience a fireplace produces. For generations, the idea of a fireplace has always been linked closely to living well and living in style. Nowadays, the options for a fireplace are more technologically-advanced, giving homeowners the choice to add a focal point in their home, which will provide more than enough heat, and at the same time, help reduce the cost of energy used during the winter months.
Fireplaces are very common in Melbourne, and they add such an elegant feel and sense of style to your home. The luxury it offers, not only in winter, is an element of the home that also adds value if ever a homeowner decides to sell.
However, what you must bear in mind is that a fireplace comes with certain hazards that can be very dangerous for children and pets.

Quadra-Fire, an innovative home heater company, is leading the way in regards to cleaner, healthier and cheaper alternatives for your wood burning fireplace. Technology called Automatic Combustion Control is an advanced air control system that has three benefits for you:
Australian wood heating, especially in South Australia, costs the average household almost $300 per tonne. This equates to a nasty figure of $18 per heating session. That’s a lot of money just to have a fireplace.
The innovators at Quadra-Fire agree. That’s why their units combine state-of-the-art technology with quality products to provide efficient, long-burning, high-heat output fireplaces.
With the cost of wood on the rise, the Australian Government, through its Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria, has provided guidelines on how best to secure an efficient heating solution for your home or business.
With the influx of rain and the freezing cold days, we’re definitely in the middle of the chilly season! Many people have used their wood burning fireplaces to help combat the cold and create a cosy atmosphere in their homes. However, many fireplace owners don’t realise that they are not using their fireplaces efficiently, and by following these tips below, they can get the most out of their fireplace this winter.
Your man cave is your sanctum, a place of fierce, manly independence that takes you back to the heady days of the hunt, the fire, and the open skies. It’s also a place where you just love to be comfortable in, sit back, and get some alone time after a long day at the office.
Winter has definitely arrived, and nothing makes a cold day as bearable as the crackle of a fireplace. Enjoying the warmth of a fire during the cold season does have safety concerns that you have to be aware of, as an untended fire that gets out of control can pose a deadly hazard to you and your family, and wreak havoc on your home.
What appeals to you about having a slow combustion wood burning stove? Perhaps it’s the great heat output, long burn times or the low emissions? Regardless of your reasons for owning a slow combustion fire, it is imperative that you use the right firewood. Choosing the wrong firewood can affect the performance of the fireplace and your enjoyment of it. The wrong wood won’t burn properly, deprives you of warmth, and the flames will be weak.
