Cleaner Fireplaces

6. Shopping for a new fireplace? Consider a sealed-combustion gas unit, which draws air from outside and vents it back out so that no fumes or particles pollute indoor air.

7. If you have a wood-burning fireplace, reduce indoor air pollution and creosote formation by using clean, dry, seasoned hardwood.

8. Does your fireplace belch smoke into the room? Break its smoking habit by mounting a fan on top of your chimney. Fans with adjustable motor speeds restore healthy ventilation and can refresh a room's air when the fireplace isn't in use. Fans can be used with wood-burning and gas fireplaces.
