Ecolo-Fire, a clean concept
Gas emissions from an ethanol fireplace are comprised of water vapor and carbon dioxide. The quantity of carbon dioxide or CO2 emitted during combustion is no more than the equivalent of two medium size candles and as for the quantity of water emitted in the air has the same properties as conventional humidifier. It would be wise however to open a window from time to time just so to allow the air to circulate. Ethanol is not a fossil energy like wood or petroleum oil, so it cannot leave soot or stain like traditional fireplaces. The only deposits which can appear on our fireplaces are the ones du to the presence of micro dusts in the air. You can easily clean them if need be with a simple wet sponge once the fireplace has cooled down. For stainless steel or brush steel surfaces you can find cleaning products at your nearest convenience store.

Combustion hour, cost and rate
The Ecolo-fire double wall burners have a capacity of 1.8 liters and can burn for up to 3 hours with the burner fully opened or up to six to eight hours at its lowest opening. The 500 ml round burners can last up to 2 hours. As a rough guide and the current average cost of the liter of ethanol, a flame will cost you between $1.25 and $2.50 depending on the burner models, as well as the burner setting. Our fireplaces are not heating devices as they only allow substituting the atmosphere which a traditional fireplace provides. Like m any process of combustion, our fireplaces do emit heat depending on the intensity of the flame.
