Here are some points to consider when choosing the most suitable option for your home:
1.- Seek professional advice

2.- Be clear about where you want to place the fireplace.
The first thing you need to consider is the space you want to heat. This way you can check, together with a specialist, if that area has enough space for the draught and if it is the most suitable place for this installation. The preferred room in the house to place the fireplace is usually the living room, an area that is the most spacious and cozy of the house, where the word home comes to life and where we usually spend a lot of time.
Always think in the long term, as they are not merely a decorative element of your home. They are essential for heating your home and require special characteristics and care in each of their phases: from installation to maintenance.
3.- Choose it by its design and by its type of combustion.
We have already said that it is not a simple decorative element, so to choose the most efficient fireplace for you you must take into account what model you like but also what type of combustion you want: there are wood stoves, pellet stoves, biomass stoves, gas stoves…
In fact, they are classified according to their design and the way they burn. Today there is a wide variety of decorations that are perfectly suited for inserts, fireplaces and stoves.
At Flamogar we have an extensive catalog to offer you the perfect solution for you, both in efficiency and style. In addition, since we have our own factory, we can customize any detail.
4.- Choose a place where they have specialized facilities.
Proper installation is essential, so choose a fireplace in a place where you will be offered expert hands to install it.
You should always rely on a professional to ensure the proper placement of the flues, to get the maximum performance and that you do not have problems with smoke in your home.
The expert installer knows that he must check several aspects: from the proper height of the flue – to avoid smoke – to the waterproofing of the space, including the correct insulation. Only with the right process can proper efficiency be achieved.
5.- Think about maintenance
Remember that to ensure good combustion and avoid possible soot fires, it is essential to maintain your chimney properly, so we recommend that you choose a chimney from a company that offers this service.
In Flamogar we recommend that you observe the amount of soot that accumulates, which depends on factors such as: how much we use the stove or fireplace, the type of fireplace, the variety of wood, how we use it… At least every 2 years you should perform professional cleaning.
