Once upon a time, fireplaces were central to the home — meals were cooked in them, and everyone gathered around them to keep warm. Fireplaces go beyond physical comforts too, offering psychological and emotional warmth even in modern households.
However, installing a new fireplace can go wrong, quickly. There is a lot to keep in mind, and there are plenty of safety measures that you need to get right. Reaching out to a professional can help you find the right unit for your home and make sure it’s installed correctly. You can find more fireplaces in Dallas, Fort Worth, Ft Worth, Ft. Worth and Arlington.
Since wood smoke contributes to air pollution, many cities have banned the use of wood-burning units. If you’d like to buy a wood burning unit, check the Dallas city policies first. If your home already has a wood-burning unit that you’re concerned about, contact a fireplace manufacturer to replace your wood-burning unit with an environmentally friendly electric or gas alternative.
Gas inserts can be efficient heaters and may lower your electric-heat bill. Many adjust to provide high heat on a cold night or a low-burning flame for ambience.
Outdoors, a custom fire pit has become an important focal point and gathering place. Decorative fire pits, artisan-made fire bowls and even fire tables come in many shapes and sizes and are fast becoming an integral part of landscape designs.
