A wood-burning fireplace is a timeless addition to your space. Although modern fireplace designs date back hundreds of years, these impressive products remain as popular as ever. That being said, these arenât the same fireplaces your grandparents and great-grandparents used. Modern wood fireplaces are more energy-efficient, offer more features, and include other contemporary updates.
Here are some of the other great reasons for adding a wood-burning fireplace to your home.
Why Should You Buy a Wood Fireplace?
Theyâre Aesthetically Pleasing!
Itâs human nature to love the look of a wood fire. Ever since our ancestors first huddled around burning timber in a cave, a cozy fire has represented safety, comfort, and beauty. You can add this serenity to your home, as well, and what better place to gather on a crisp fall morning? Better yet, a beautiful fireplace will give you the perfect place to open presents on Christmas morning (and the kids wonât have to wonder how Santa got in anymore)!
In a cabin, lakehouse, or vacation home, the beauty of a wood fire is even more welcome. Thereâs arguably no better way to end a day relaxing than with an evening by the fire.
Theyâre Cost-Effective!
A wood fireplace is more than just an attractive addition to your home. A wood fire creates a tremendous amount of heat, which makes it an excellent choice for heating your home. This is especially true in colder climates where the fireplace will be used for many months of the year.
The benefits of a wood fireplace arenât limited to those living with long winters, however. Even those whose heating needs are relatively moderate can see cost savings from installing a wood fireplace. This is because a wood fireplace can help take the strain off of a furnace, which in turn lowers a gas or electric bill. So while you may have the upfront cost of the fireplace installation, the many decades of money savings will ultimately help to offset some of those costs over time.
Theyâre Energy-Efficient!
Modern wood fireplaces are incredibly efficient. These fireplaces offer a high value in energy cost thanks to their extraordinarily low emissions rates. The fact youâre using a renewable energy source means wood fireplaces are also a âgreenâ heating option for your home.
Wood stoves are also popular for these same reasons. Available in a wide variety of sizes and styles, these units can be adapted to many different installations, making them a quality heating option for your home.
