Are you looking for a way to raise your home’s market value and aesthetic appeal? You may want to consider installing a gas fireplace. Market research has shown that this feature can increase the selling value of a house by as much as 12%. This is a significant increase that more than makes up for the installation cost.

Gas fireplaces are the perfect combination of beauty and function, something every home buyer craves. Here's what adding one can do for your home:

• Symbolizes Luxurious Living: When you hear a house has a fireplace, what comes to your mind? Do you think about elegant design and beautiful materials that make a room feel special? Some people believe that only high-end houses have modern gas fireplaces and see them as a status symbol. When it comes to the real estate market, this type of upgrade enhances your decor and makes buyers view your home more favorably.

• Provides More Heating: Don’t forget the real reason why people have fireplaces to their homes in the first place—heating. While there are more modern ways to heat a home, few things can compare to the comfort of curling up by the fireplace on a cold day.

• Makes Your Home Feel Cozier: Adding a new fireplace makes a strong and effective emotional appeal. The charm of a burning gas fireplace makes a house feel like a real home. Buyers are more willing to make an offer when they can envision their family making memories in a house.
