A cleaner source of energy : Bioethanol fireplaces

What is bioethanol?

Bioethanol is a source of renewable and domestic energy. It is a plant and vegetable based fuel produced through a sugar fermentation process. The sugar collected in order to produce it comes mainly from fuel or energy crops; including maize, corn and wheat crops.

As it is made from biological products, it is a cleaner source of fuel that emits 40-80% less greenhouse gases.

How to choose the best bioethanol fireplace

Here are some tips that you can keep in mind while selecting the right bioethanol fireplace for your home:

  • Choose a brand that is certified. Your fireplace must be compliant with the Canadian standards.
  • Choose a fireplace that is easy to use and easy to set up
  • Bioethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles ranging from small to very large. Choose one that compliments the theme of your home and it’s appearance.
  • Whilst searching for your fireplace, be sure to choose a reputable brand whether it’s online or from a retailer.
  • Unlike a regular electric fireplace, the flames on a bioethanol fireplace depend on the size of your burner. So be sure to choose the right size burner for your needs. The bigger the burner, the bigger the flame and heat.
