Modern Fireplace HD81 by Napoleon

If you are considering a fireplace for your living room, consider this: you will see this fireplace every day while you live in the house so why not try to combine functionality with style. There are plenty of modern fireplaces on the market and we will be featuring some of the more impressive modern ones during the coming weeks so make sure to bookmark this blog.

We love these modern direct vent fireplaces which are made by Napoleon (no, not the French gentleman) but the Canadian/American company with the same name.

Napoleon's Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces do not require a chimney and can be vented directly through a wall or roof. The direct vent draws its combustion air from outside while venting to the same outside atmosphere - thereby not consuming warm house air, nor competing with other appliances and furnaces for combustion air. Direct venting also eliminates drafts and heat loss associated with other fireplaces.

These modern direct vent fireplaces are part of Napoleon's modern collection and would be perfect for any modern home. The fireplaces pictured below is Napoleon's DH81 see-thru gas fireplace.

There are plenty of different ways to heat your home including wood burning fireplaces and stoves, direct vent gas fireplaces, natural vent fireplaces, vent free fireplaces, forced air systems which circulate warm air, radiant floor heating, geothermal heating, solar heating, chimney-free ethanol fireplaces for atmosphere and many more. Each of them has their specific benefits. Choosing a heating system will very much depend on the climate where you live as well as personal choice...and your budget. When comparing prices, please also compare the "long term" cost of the energy used. The system itself may be the least expensive you can find but the long term energy cost may be far higher compared to a more expensive alternative. Please always ask for expert advice and compare all options.
