Fire and ice. That’s the image that drove the country towards the trend of fire glass. The ambiance that it puts off is more modern, as the flames appear to dance over the surface rather than engulf the hearth and consume the wood that fuels it.

Though classic clears and blues, such as icy topaz fire glass, are popular, there are several different colors (i.e. emerald, koi), each with their own ambiance and ability to match your décor.

There are a lot of things that can (and do) drive up the cost of owning a home. When you’re in need of updating, fixing, or getting a new heating system, it can be one of those costly projects.

It’s important to understand everything about the heating system you buy so you can be sure it’s the best option for your home, all while keeping important pieces like budget and coverage area in mind.

As we prepare for the upcoming winter months, it’s time to start thinking about keeping warm while we are outside and inside. You might already be upgrading your winter coat or grabbing some new gloves, but there might be one big factor you are forgetting: your furnace.

For homeowners, making sure that you not only have the right furnace in place but that you also understand how it functions is a must for winter preparation. A better understanding of the inner workings of your furnace can help you determine if things are functioning properly, or help you choose a new one for your home.
