We’ve always heated our apartment with electric baseboard heaters, but have always yearned to have a fireplace along with the smells of a crackling fire and the lovely warmth it radiates. However we’d always though that was not possible, or at least not practical as it would have been a major job to install a chimney to handle a fireplace. A friend told us though about a zero clearance fireplace that can be installed without a regular chimney, it just requires a small exhaust vent to the outside as they burn so efficiently there’s little heat exhausted. Sounds like a good idea to me.
