What to consider before installing a NEW fireplace:

​Before you decide to repair your fireplace or install a brand new system, there are a few things you should consider. If you don’t already have a fireplace in your home then you’ll need a Professional Contractor to inspect the house and help you with the requirements of building a system into the home. 

However, if you are replacing an old, ugly, outdated, or fireplace that doesn’t work at all then let's look at your options. Beginning with understanding the type of burning system you currently have in your home. Whether it’s gas or wood-burning there are many types of fireplaces. 

Types of Fireplaces:

​There are several different types of fuel-powered fireplaces and installations, namely gas, electric, and wood-burning, so the prices differ quite a bit. While one type might be cheaper to install, another might be cheaper to run over the years and last longer.

With gas fireplaces, you don't have to worry about getting up to throw more wood on a dying fire, while installing a wood-burning stove or fireplace in your home can provide an additional source of heat that is electricity and gas free.

Gas:

Pros:
Low maintenance, no cleaning required, burns the most efficiently.
​
Cons:
Requires gas line installation and ongoing utility costs.

Electric:

Pros:
Lowest upfront cost and the lowest price to run per hour. Easy to maintain.

Cons:
Requires wiring installation and ongoing electricity costs.

Wood Burning:

Pros:
Uses wood logs which lowers energy bills.

Cons:
Soot buildup occurs and requires frequent cleaning.

Reasons to install a fireplace:

ENERGY SAVINGS
A fireplace has a high energy-efficiency compared to an HVAC system. Natural gas burns clean with energy costs at $0.70 per hour, making it an eco-friendly option. A direct-vent gas fireplace has an energy rating of 60% to 80%, and draws in outside air which keeps the flame burning and gets rid of all the by-product and combustion gases. Wood burning fireplaces are the most energy-efficient choice and do not require a fuel source to generate heat other than adding more logs.

MAINTENANCE & UPKEEP
Gas and electric fireplaces are low maintenance, and no annual cleaning is required. It's recommended to get a yearly chimney inspection for $125 which covers the venting, pilot light, fan, and burner.

HOME & RESALE VALUE
In a recent survey of real estate agents, more than 83% see fireplaces adding between $1,000 and $4,999 to the home’s resale value. This is especially true up north in colder climates.

REBATES
Some states give tax deductions or utility bill discounts for having fireplaces in the home. There are cash incentives and rebates for converting an old wood-burning fireplace into one that burns clean fuel like gas.
