The Best Heating Options for Your Home

Heating becomes a necessity if you live in an area that gets bitterly cold during winters. It is the only way of ensuring that you don’t freeze to death. In the old days, there were limited options available and people really relied on fire for heating their homes. However, technological advancement has meant that we now have various heating solutions available that can be used for warming homes. Here are some of the best heating options that can help you survive the winter season.

Gas Fireplaces

Central Heating System

Central heating systems are similar to central air conditioning systems. They force hot air through ducts. These heating systems utilize different types of fuels for generating heat. While these systems can easily warm up a home, they are very expensive. Moreover, installing them in the home isn’t easy either. You need to completely remodel your home in order to get this heating system installed in your home. The operational costs of such systems are quite high too depending on the fuel being used for heat generation.

Heat Pump

Heat pumps are considered a nice alternative to central heating systems. They work on the principle of heat movement instead of heat generation. So, when you need to warm up your home, the heat pump simply takes the heat from the outside into your home. Because it doesn’t generate any heat, this heating option is very inexpensive and has a very low operational cost.

Electric Heaters

Electric heaters are a good option to use for people who don’t want heating throughout the home. They are portable and can be taken anywhere. So, you can get heat wherever in the room you are currently located. However, electric heaters don’t have a very large heating range. They are ideal for small spaces and can effectively provide heat to a single person. Electric heaters run on electricity and are very energy-efficient too.

Gas Fireplace

Fireplaces have been used for heating up rooms for ages. However, traditional fireplaces ran on wooden logs which aren’t that energy efficient and also produce a lot of smoke and ash. A gas fireplace combats this issue and presents you with a smoke-free heating option. Powered by gas, this heating option doesn’t create any harmful by-products. It offers a consistent heat supply and is quite energy efficient as well. Moreover, Gas fireplaces are easier to install and maintain and don’t have a high running cost too.

How do You Build a Two-Zone Fire?

The most versatile way to cook, the two-zone fire is your first choice for cooking most foods on the barbeque. To create a two-zone fire, position coals on one side of the barbeque for direct, high-heat cooking and searing and leave the other side empty. You can use the side without coals for lower-temperature cooking and as a safe zone for flare-ups. 1) Light the coals Light your coals using a chimney starter, Match Light® Charcoal or lighter fluid. For high heat, use a full chimney of charcoal or light a pile of about 100 briquets. 2) Spread out coals on one side of the barbeque Pour out your hot coals on one side or use a spatula or tongs to carefully move all the coals to cover 50 per cent of the lower barbeque grate. 3) Leave the other side of the barbeque coal-free This void space, free of coals directly underneath the grates, is still hot. Food will cook there — just not as fast as on the direct side, right above the coals. 4) Cook your food on the appropriate zo...
