social and environmental benefits

Modern homes are firmly constructed and well insulated, designed to be cozy and easy to heat. Research has indicated that while Australians find the open flame of the traditional open wood fireplace appealing, it is incompatible with modern housing and contemporary living standards and lacks the necessary efficiency and cost effectiveness that consumers are looking for.

Alternatives have been developed which offer a “virtual fireplace” burning gas with a mock flame. These forms of heating have relied on fossil fuels, which are less environmentally friendly than the alternative offered by the EcoSmart® Fire.
