That means it’s time to swap the thongs for the crocs and socks.
But if you’re looking for a classier way to stay warm this winter why not consider a fireplace?
Gas, electric and wood-fired fireplaces each offer something a little different depending on your budget and your mood.
Here are three different ways to keep the fire burning this winter:
Wood-burning fireplaces
Just the thought of a crackling log fire is enough to warm the bones on a chilly evening. You’ll love this option if the smell of a log fire and the thought of playing with kindling and firewood appeals to you. For an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative, you could explore a pellet heater which uses wood pellets made from wood byproducts.
Electric fireplaces
Electric fireplaces don’t burn wood so don’t emit smoke. This means no chimney or vent is required and they can be moved in your home. The latest models offer flames that appear realistic without the danger of an open fire. If you want instant heat at the flick of a switch this option may appeal.
Gas fireplaces
Gas fireplaces offer a real flame without the need to burn timber. That means no smoke and they’re also easier to ignite than a wood burning fireplace. You will need your gas fireplace installed by a professional and it will need an annual service.
