A fireplace is an architectural feature typically built inside a building to provide heat to a room or space. Used for centuries, fireplaces were originally used for cooking and for warmth. Today, they can contribute to energy efficiency by making more effective use of the heat produced by the fire. Discover our full range of SEGUIN fireplaces
In addition to its practical function, the fireplace is increasingly viewed as a centerpiece of home décor. Whether traditional or modern, it is a central element of an interior (the “heart of the home”), adding a warm and inviting atmosphere.
SEGUIN Fireplaces: How Do They Work?
Designed with over 45 years of expertise and craftsmanship, Seguin fireplaces are renowned for their quality and efficiency, making them industry leaders. Here’s how they work: A fireplace, whether fueled by logs, wood pellets, or gas, operates with the installation of a closed hearth or an insert, often made of cast iron or steel.
The fireplace features a glass door that covers the chimney opening, allows you to control the airflow with adjustable vents, and optimizes combustion. This solution, which is highly effective for heating the room, offers better efficiency than an open fireplace, which contributes to the emission of pollutants.

The insert, as its name suggests, is built into an existing fireplace. It is equipped with a glass door and a ventilation system to direct heat into the room. Similar to closed fireplaces in terms of energy efficiency, the insert offers a simple installation if the fireplace configuration allows it.

In practice, the fireplaceworks by drawing in air from the room through the bottom of the unit, which then circulates around it between its walls. As it heats up, this air rises to the top of the fireplace and is expelled through specially designed vents. In this way, the generated heat naturally spreads through convection in the room where the insert is located. Additionally, the glass of the insert or fireplace also emits heat through thermal radiation.

What maintenance is required when you own a fireplace?
Just like a stove, a fireplace requires regular maintenance, which is essential to ensure it functions properly over time. To achieve this, certain best practices should be followed for trouble-free use:
Use dry wood (<20% moisture content) to prevent the firebox from becoming clogged quickly.
Regularly clean the ash pan, which should be vacuumed and emptied whenever it is full to optimize the appliance’s draft.
Frequently check the blower to improve heat distribution. Clean the unit with a brush at least twice a year.
Chimney sweeping. An essential procedure that must be performed twice a year (including one service during the period when the appliance is in use). A certified professional cleans the flue and prevents any potential fire hazards. The chimney sweep then issues a certificate to be kept for two years, which serves as proof of proper appliance maintenance in the event of a claim.
