According to the National Association of Real Estate Appraisers, installing a fireplace in your home enhances its resale value by 6-12%.

Fireplaces are among the most sought-after amenities by current homeowners. They not only add monetary value but they can enhance your living experience.

In contrast to traditional heating systems, they offer a greener option by minimizing carbon emissions. They efficiently generate substantial heat while maintaining environmental harmony. They also provide a warm and inviting space for gatherings with loved ones, a cozy spot to relax in a favorite chair with a good book, and the perfect setting for various indoor activities.

3 Things to Consider When Incorporating a Fireplace into your Home Design 

1. Location: 

Consider what you want from your fireplace. For optimal heat, place the it in the busiest area of your home. If you're looking for ambiance, add them to specific rooms like the bedroom, office, or basement.  Installing a fireplace outside is great for outdoor parties and cold nights. 

2. Style:

It's important the fireplace reflects the style of your home. The biggest decision is your fuel choice (i.e. electric, gas, wood-burning, etc.).  

3. Maintenance: 

All fireplaces require maintenance but ones with a chimney will require inspections and additional work. However, it is vital to clean all fireplaces regularly to prevent the buildup of dust and dirt.
