When it comes to an alternative heat source that offers both ambiance and affordability as well as convenience and dependability, nothing beats a gas fireplace.
At the flick of a switch, you have instant flames in your propane gas fireplace that can heat a room or rooms and provide a warm, welcoming glow to a family room, living room, den, or even bedroom. Should you lose your main power source and are without heat, a propane gas fireplace is a perfect answer.
If you’re considering adding this attractive, useful feature to your home, which model should you choose? Which manufacturer will give you the best product out there?
There are many different types of gas fireplaces available, but the Kozy Heat Bayport 36 model is a favorite of ours that checks all the boxes.

Safety
When it comes to any propane-powered product, it’s always wise to mention a word or two about safety.
First, you should always rely on professionals like those from Diversified Energy to safely install propane gas lines and products. Installation experts will ensure that your Kozy Heat Bayport 36 fireplace is installed to meet all specifications and safety codes.
With gas fireplaces, hazards can be low as there is no open flame to contend with. Still, issues can arise, so keep the following in mind when you have a propane gas fireplace installed in your home:
If your pilot light won’t light, this could be a safety feature and your fireplace should be checked by a professional.
Smell gas? It’s best to get you and your family out of the house, shut off the gas valve if possible, and call either the fire department or your propane gas supplier.
Have a carbon monoxide detector installed on every level of your home. This is highly recommended when you use any gas-powered product inside your house.
Though propane is considered highly safe and clean, it is always smart to follow these few safety tips for further peace of mind.
