Cooler weather and fireplaces go together like hands and mittens.
As the temps drop and your mind goes to all of the fun things to do in front of your fireplace – romantic dinners, board games, reading and sipping something warm—imagine it with an image upgrade.
There’s often an assumption that the fireplace in the home you buy is the one you have for the life of your time in that house.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
If the fireplace of your dreams is sleek and modern, and the one currently in your living room is a brick Victorian affair that disappoints you every time you look at it…consider a change.
At American Chimney, we specialize in fireplaces, and our product line is a wide spectrum of styles and modalities; from modern to traditional, and gas burning to wood stoves, we can find a way to transform your current fireplace into the one that better suits you and your home.
The transformations we’ve undertaken range from simply revitalizing brick to updating wood burning fireplaces to more efficient gas logs, and we offer a long line of products – mantels, fireplace inserts, and wood stoves—from a diverse line of vendors. Whether you’re seeking a sleek glass exterior or a rustic stone mantel, we can help find the look, material quality, and price point to suit your situation.
Your own enjoyment of your fireplace and its aesthetic is the most important consideration, but if you’re not convinced that it’s worth the time or investment just for your own purposes, consider the resale value it will add; a fireplace is ranked first on the list for new homebuyers when asked about the most desired decorative element in a prospective home. The more updated, the more advantageous it is for you. Modeling décor around an eyesore isn’t appealing for anyone—and visual improvements aside, making a switch in the fuel your fireplace uses may be an even better reason for an upgrade.
Wood fireplaces hold an elemental mystique and timeless appeal, but gas offers unmatched versatility when it comes to all the various positives of a fireplace. They’re easy to place, if you’re considering adding additional fireplaces to your home, there are several varieties on the market now, with a spectrum of styles, and they’re clean burning and efficient – the best choice for green-conscious consumers.
If you love the romance and classic timelessness of wood burning fireplaces or stoves, it’s always possible to include them; just be sure you’re familiar with codes in your area, since wood-burning is often regulated.
