If you're looking for home improvement projects to make your house more comfortable and bump up the price when it's time to sell, fireplace installation should be one of your first choices. According to the National Association of Realtors, adding one can boost a home's value by about 12%. If you decide to install one, there several options to choose from, including wood, electric, or gas. Whichever type you decide on, here’s why you should ensure it’s a high-quality design.

Why Choose High-End Fireplace Installation

1. Longevity

A first-rate gas fireplace can last up to 25 years with the right maintenance, providing heat as well as beautifying your home. A traditional wood style is even more durable. The brick or stone masonry that makes up a chimney can last 100 years or more, so you won't have to replace it throughout the lifetime of your home.

2. Convenience

Your hearth provides easy, efficient heat to the home, with versatile settings that tailor the unit to your needs. Modern gas or electric models can be set on a timer, so you won't even have to touch the controls. Electric fireplaces can also be turned to low- or no-heat settings so you can enjoy a cheerful blaze even on a hot summer evening.

3. Safety

Contemporary gas fireplaces come equipped with sensors to alert you or switch off the unit if the room gets low on oxygen. A skilled installation service will also confirm the unit is safe to use by ensuring it gets plenty of ventilation. For electric heaters, some units come with automatic shut-off features that can be activated by a timer or if the unit is knocked over.
