Looking for a great way to increase your home’s value while also making your space cozier? Consider adding a fireplace or installing a fireplace insert into an existing chimney. Below is a brief rundown of why this home addition is a perfect investment for the holiday season and beyond. 

How Fireplaces Benefit Home Owners

 

 

1. They Attract Potential Buyers

If you’re thinking of putting your home on the market, fireplaces are considered to add great value to a home, particularly in the northeastern U.S. where temperatures are especially likely to plummet. In fact, the National Center for Real Estate reports that almost 50 percent of home buyers agree they’d pay more for a home with one or more fireplaces. The most important buyer is you.  Get something now that you will enjoy and be sure the next home owner will be delighted when they tour your open house and experience the warmth for themselves.

2. They’re Modifiable

Gas fireplace inserts allow you to enjoy a warm fire with the easy touch of a button. You can add customized options to complement the look and feel of your living room, den, or bedroom. A wood burning insert will make the fireplace you have efficient, saving you on the cost of wood and add a blower to help you capture the heat produced.

3. They’re Inviting

One reason why fireplaces attract buyers and add value is that they provide both a fun activity and an enhanced atmosphere of rustic comfort. Fireplaces in common areas are a delight for the whole family, whether you want to sip hot cocoa or roast marshmallows.
