Do you own a fireplace? Then, it’s essential to ensure that your fireplace is up to code and in good working order is essential for keeping your space cozier, warmer, and safer for the upcoming holiday season.
Whether you’re looking to improve the aesthetics and overall value of your home, improve efficiency, or finally invest in some much-needed repairs or updates, we’re here to help.
So, what improvements could be made? We’ve got some options.
Invest In New Appliances
One of the best ways to update your space is to invest in an entirely new appliance. If you have an old or inefficient fireplace, upgrading to a newer model can make a big difference in both look and function. Just be sure to consult Holy Smoke for all of your new appliance installation needs. When dealing with fire in the home, professional insight is a must!
Check out some of our more popular options.
✓ Install a wood, gas, or pellet fireplace insert.
Fireplace inserts will improve your fireplace’s overall efficiency, working hard to pour more heat into your home, while also giving the entire space a more modern look. Many different types and styles of inserts are available, so you should easily find one that fits your needs and preferences, no problem. They also provide an easy way to convert fuel types if that’s been on your mind.
✓ Invest in a new stove.
Stoves are known for their traditional vibes and their high efficiency levels. They’re also more flexible in terms of placement than a fireplace, and they come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and styles, so you can easily find one that fits your home. If you’re looking to zone heat during cooler weather, investing in a stove is a great way to do it.
✓ Consider an electric option.
No chimney or venting system? No problem. We sell and install electric logs, fireplaces, and inserts, so you can still enjoy the heat and ambiance – just without all the hassle.
Upgrade Your Chimney Components
Looking for a quicker and more affordable way to update your fireplace, stove, or chimney? Upgrading the components of your system is a great way to improve the function and look of the appliance – without having to replace the entire unit and give up all your time and money. Some options include:
✓ Upgrade to a top-sealing damper.
Top-sealing dampers sit at the top of the flue, rather than the throat. They seal with a rubber gasket, ensuring no stray winds or debris can get it, and they work alongside the cap to keep animals and water out too. They even ensure your flue stays warmer when not in use, so that your fires are easier to light.
✓ Install a new chimney cap.
A chimney cap helps prevent rain, animals and debris from entering your chimney, but only if it’s sized and fitted correctly. Count on our sweeps to find the perfect model for your unique needs. These are also great for stopping sparks from landing on your roof and for preventing downdrafts.
✓ Invest in a new chimney liner.
New liners can do a lot for improving efficiency and enhancing airflow, both of which ensure your system functions safer and more efficiently all year round. We can set you up with a quality stainless steel liner, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Invest in Some Fireplace/Hearth Accessories
Not interested in any major changes, but want to add some character and personality to your fireplace? Consider installing some fireplace or hearth accessories. This is a great way to update the look of your fireplace without spending a lot of money. Here are a few ideas:
✓ Protect your space with new hearth pads.
Hearth pads are great for keeping your floor free from damaging sparks and embers. They also add a touch of style to your hearth’s overall look.
✓ Have a new mantel installed. 
A new mantel can give your fireplace an entirely new look without breaking the budget. Or, if you don’t want to replace your existing mantel, consider painting it or staining it a different color.
✓ Invest in some fireplace tool sets.
Fireplace tools are not only functional, but also add a decorative touch. You can find fireplace tools in various styles and colors to match any decor.
