The Best Time to Plan Your New Fireplace Installation
Although none of us want to think about it, cold weather is right around the corner. This means the days will get shorter, nights cooler, and fall will arrive. Whether you are building the home of your dreams, or just want to make your current place a little cozier, consider a fireplace addition before winter is here to stay.
When to Install a Fireplace
With a range of weather and seasons in Ohio, it can be hard to figure out a good time to get a fireplace installed in your home. We highly recommend scheduling your fireplace install by mid summer going into the early fall season. Although you probably won’t be turning it on for awhile, having a unit installed during this time, is logical. This way when the cold arrives, your fireplace is already in the home and ready for use. It can turn into more of a struggle having to renovate or rush around for an install in the midst of the cold season.
Best of all, you can enjoy the warmth and comfort of your new fireplace right away!
Why a Fireplace?
You may be sitting there wondering, why have a fireplace in my home? There are some significant reasons why a fireplace could benefit you and your family, as well as your home. For starters, fireplaces are the perfect centerpiece for a room. Having a cozy fireplace set up in the living room for example, creates a nice space for gathering. It is a place where warm memories can be made with loved ones, especially during the holidays. Fireplaces are also very efficient, and can increase the overall value of your home. The maintenance is quite easy, and in no time you will be happy you chose this way to heat your home. For more reasons, check out our blog “Advantages of Having a Fireplace in Your Home“.
What the Installation Process Entails
The installation process varies depending upon the type of fireplace you choose, and the overall setting. With many customizable options available, we make it easy for you to design your dream fireplace. Some things to consider are; fuel type (gas, wood, pellet), fireplace unit/brand, style and size, facing options (brick, stone, shiplap), mantel (barn beam, hand hewn), hearth, etc. Our certified hearth specialists will then take care of full installation and service of your new unit. The install crew will be mindful of your living space, making sure to handle everything with care and detail.
Have Your Fireplace Completed in Time for Cold Weather
By beating the rush, and having your fireplace installed earlier, you can rest assured knowing it will be ready to use, and looking great before the cooler weather arrives. So instead of wishing you had a working fireplace come the first frost, you can actually enjoy it and also have the luxury of using it during the holidays. Like we said before, although it is still summer and a fireplace may be the last thing you are thinking about, it only benefits you to plan an installation sooner than later. Especially once we get into the fall and winter season and get busier, you may not have it installed by the time you would like.
