The 4 Home Fireplace Benefits You Need to Know

Picture this: It’s the middle of winter, you’re in the living room with your family, and you’re all curled up in front of your home fireplace. Sounds pretty good, right? With some help from the pros at ComfortAire Heating Cooling, you can bring that picture to life—we specialize in fireplace installation and service.

Our experts are sharing some of the best fireplace benefits below. Read them over, then call us (715-325-3969 in Wisconsin Rapids or 715-342-0911 in Stevens Point) to find the perfect one for you.

1 – Energy-Efficient Heating

Looking for a way to cut down on your energy bills without sacrificing warmth? Fireplaces are the perfect answer. Because they add so much heat, you can turn down the temperature in the rest of the house and gather in front of the fire instead. This way, your energy usage decreases, your comfort level stays the same, and you’ll put less stress on your furnace or boiler. Win-win-win.

2 – Added Ambience

In addition to functionality, hearth products simply look beautiful—they’re the perfect centerpiece in any room. After all, who doesn’t love the crackling of a wood-burning fireplace or the simplicity of firing up an electric one? It’s much easier to unwind after a long day in front of an insert (maybe even with a book or cup of hot chocolate) than it is without it.

3 – Warmth During Power Outages

While you may not have this option with an electric fireplace, a wood-burning version will produce heat no matter what. So, if winter gets the best of your house, you know you can always rely on your fireplace to keep you warm until the lights come back on.

4 – Increased Home Value

According to recent surveys, an indoor fireplace has proven to be one of the features that prospective buyers look for most in a new house. In fact, the National Association of Realtors says that a hearth product can add as much as $12,000 to your home value. Taking that into consideration, adding a fireplace will pay for itself by the time you’re ready to sell your house.
