Wood Burning Fireplaces from Godby Hearth & Home

Experience the timeless warmth and charm of traditional wood burning fireplaces, enhanced by modern technology to provide efficiency, comfort, and style.

The original technology of fireplaces

Traditional wood burning fireplaces use a passive draw system to remove combustion from the home.  Tempered air, from inside the home is used to supply the fire with oxygen. The heat of the fire rises through the vertical flue and creates a lift similar to hot air rising in the atmosphere. This pulls the various particles of combustion, through the flue system and out of the home.  Manufactured, modern wood burning fireplaces utilize a metal double-wall, air-cooled flue system. 

Efficient, free standing wood burning fireplaces and inserts have increased in popularity in recent years due to technological advancements in this product, along with increase in consumer demand for a efficient secondary source of heat.

Modern Advancements in Wood Burning Fireplaces

In recent years, free-standing wood burning fireplaces and inserts have surged in popularity. This is due to advancements in fireplace technology and an increasing consumer demand for more efficient, eco-friendly heating solutions. Modern wood-burning fireplaces are not only beautiful but also highly effective as a secondary source of heat, reducing reliance on central heating systems and offering substantial cost savings during colder months.

Two key elements have dramatically improved the efficiency of contemporary wood burning fireplaces:

  1. External Combustion Air Supply: Modern wood fireplaces are designed to pull the majority of the combustion air from outside the house. This design minimizes the use of indoor air for combustion, reducing the strain on your home’s heating system. It also prevents heat loss and ensures that the fireplace does not deplete the oxygen levels in your home.

  2. Controlled Air Flow: The ability to control the combustion airflow is another major advancement. By regulating the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire, homeowners can extend the burn time of their wood, resulting in longer-lasting heat with less fuel consumption. This means fewer trips to the woodpile and a more sustainable heating solution.

Why Choose a Wood Burning Fireplace?

Wood burning fireplaces offer a unique experience that gas or electric fireplaces can’t quite replicate. From the sound of crackling wood to the warmth and ambiance they create, here are some benefits of choosing a wood burning fireplace:

  • Authentic Ambiance: Nothing compares to the atmosphere created by a traditional wood fire. The flickering flames and natural wood scent evoke a sense of comfort and nostalgia.

  • Efficient Heating: Modern wood burning fireplaces are designed to maximize heat output while minimizing wood consumption. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners looking for an efficient supplemental heating source.

  • Eco-Friendly Option: Wood is a renewable resource, and when sourced responsibly, it offers a more eco-friendly heating option than fossil fuels. Modern fireplaces burn wood more cleanly, emitting fewer pollutants than older models.

  • Cost-Effective: With rising energy costs, using a wood burning fireplace can help reduce your reliance on traditional heating systems, lowering your overall energy bills during the colder months.
