Kalamazoo Fireplaces to Warm Your Winter

Here at Hodgson Light and Log, we have a more optimistic view of the winter. Where others might envision a chill in the air, grey snow, and shoveling the driveway, we think of something greater. We think about how it feels to curl up in front of the fireplace, and how the sounds of snow crunching underfoot pair with the warmth of a crackling fire.

At Hodgson, we feel that even the coldest winter nights can be transformed into memories to be cherished. All it takes is the right people and the right fireplace. In this month’s blog post, we’ll be reviewing our tips for warming your home during the coming winter and what you can do to turn chilly nights into warm memories using a fireplace.

Fireplaces for Winter Nights

Our diverse array of fireplaces are perfect for any home configuration you may have. Additionally, we carry both gas fireplaces and wood fireplaces; whichever you prefer, we’re here to provide.

Gas Fireplaces for Easy Use

Our gas fireplaces have the distinct advantage of not requiring a chimney to use them. Where wood fireplaces require an exit strategy for the smoke they generate, gas fireplaces simply don’t have that issue. Additionally, gas fireplaces don’t require you to cut or purchase firewood, haul it into your home, store it somewhere, and clean up the mess. Gas fireplaces simply require that you turn on the gas and light the fire; to be frank, they’re about as simple as indoor fireplaces get. We should also mention that the efficiency of the gas and the ability you have to manipulate the gas output means that gas fireplaces can burn hotter than wood ones, maximizing the heat in your home during the chilly months.

Wood Fireplaces for Authentic Feel

Though gas fireplaces are undoubtedly low-maintenance, there’s something special about a traditional wood fireplace. The feeling of wood in your hands, and the habit of tending the fire with a poker and a keen eye tap into something ancient within us. At the same time, we offer cutting edge designs for wood fireplaces that makes maintaining them easier than ever before. Our fireplaces are designed to minimize the creation of ash to negligible levels and create almost no pollution when you choose to throw a log on the fire.

Do you feel, like we do, that winter is more than just a time of cold and snow? If so, don’t hesitate to contact us today to achieve that time-honored and sacred tradition of sitting by the fire with friends and family, keeping warm throughout the winter.
