Start by choosing a make and model of a fireplace; there are options for gas, wood, pellets, and even electric fireplaces! Next, personalize your fireplace by choosing doors, fire back brick patterns, andirons, and more. Finish your design by uploading a picture of the room your new fireplace will go in. This gives you the ability to see exactly what your customized fireplace will look like in your home!

We do the installation, too!

Trust the professional technicians at Clean Sweeps of Michigan to safely and correctly install your new appliance or accessory. Professional installation ensures your home’s new addition will operate safely and efficiently.

While we recommend professional installation for all fireplace products, it is especially important when installing gas stoves and inserts or switching fuel sources. A difference of just a few millimeters can cause leaks in delicate gas lines; professional installation keeps your fireplace burning efficiently and keeps your family safe from potential gas leaks.

Benefits of a Cast Iron Stove

Once thought to be old-fashioned or only for rustic cabins, cast iron stoves are making a comeback! Modern cast iron stoves are environmentally friendly and energy efficient heating appliances. Whether you are looking to heat an entire home, supplement your existing heating system, or simply add ambiance, the following are a few of the benefits of installing a new cast iron stove in your home.

Strong heat output & energy efficient

Cast iron stoves are used as a significant source of heat in many homes. In addition to heating rooms quickly and efficiently, it retains heat longer than other wood-burning stoves. This allows the residual heat to be released into the room for longer periods of time. Because cast iron stoves are available in a variety of sizes with different heat outputs, you can find the perfect stove to meet your home’s heating needs.

Most open fireplaces are extremely inefficient, only converting about 15% of their fuel into heat. Because of their closed system combustion, stoves are significantly more energy efficient. Most stoves burn with at least 80% efficiency. The natural heat retention qualities of cast iron make the inside of it hotter, helping to create complete combustion. This helps reduce fuel costs while maximizing the stove’s efficiency.

Stylish design & reliable

Available in both classic or contemporary designs, cast iron stoves can become a beautiful focal point in any room. Cast iron stoves have a wide variety of design choices; cast iron can even be porcelain coated to create an entirely unique style.

If severe winter weather causes the power to go out, the last thing you want to worry about is how to keep your family warm. Cast iron stoves are not powered by electricity or gas; if the power goes out, you can continue to heat your home. No matter the weather outside, you can rest assured that your family will be warm and comfortable inside.

Fun for the whole family & money-saving

A new cast iron stove will quickly become the center of your family’s memories. Stoves create a warm and welcoming ambiance in your home. Likewise, some stoves can even be used as a cooking appliance, opening up endless possibilities for your cast iron stove.

Because cast iron stoves help burn wood more completely, they help reduce heating costs each season. Likewise, using a wood burning stove as a supplemental heat source can help reduce electricity and gas heating costs each month. While a new cast iron stove is a significant investment, most homeowners can recoup the cost of the stove through energy savings in as little as a few years.

A new cast iron stove help to keep your family warm and comfortable all winter long. For more information on the benefits of installing a cast iron stove in your home, contact Clean Sweeps of Michigan today!
