Is It Possible To Add A Fireplace To Your Existing Home?

2/20/2018

Picture
A fireplace cannot heat the entire house, but it gives a certain warmth and homey appeal to any room. A fireplace is traditionally a symbol of a gathering place for the family.
​Many new homes today do not feature a fireplace, as people do not heat wood anymore. However, lots of homebuyers and owners want to add fireplaces to their homes for a variety of reasons.

If you want to put a fireplace in your current home, are you wondering if it can be done? The answer is yes, but be prepared to shell out some money, depending on what you want to achieve.

Check the Building Codes
Before you get too excited with your fireplace project, check with the building codes in your local area. By doing this, you will know what is allowed and what is not to add in your property.

The building codes also indicate construction details such as height of chimney, and emissions. Once you understand and abide by your local building codes, you can start searching through different fireplace or woodstove designs, and debate with the family about using wood pellet or natural gas.

Decide on Your Fuel Source
It would be easier to decide your fuel source if you determine first the main use of your fireplace and the storage capacity of your home for firewood.

You may opt to have a wood-burning fireplace or one that uses natural gas. Consider what fuel options are best for your home and fireplace.

Resale Value
No doubt, adding a fireplace to your existing home creates a different atmosphere to your place. Should you decide to sell your house in the future, the fireplace can contribute to its appeal. But keep in mind that the fireplace may not increase your house's appraised value.

Let the Experts Handle the Job
If you do not know anything about installing a fireplace, better leave the job to the professionals. Find a licensed contractor that you can work with. These professionals can do the job fast according to your preference. They can also recommend the ideal fuel source for your new fireplace.

Also, make sure to ask if the workers have contractors insurance as this can help protect both parties in case of an accident during the installation of your fireplace.

Conclusion
Conduct your own research about the right fireplace for your home that can also fit your budget. Do not forget to get the right insurance for yourself and ensure the people who would do the installation have contractors insurance.
