It’s Easy to Add a Fireplace to Your Home

Whether you want an additional fireplace, a fireplace replacement, or a first-time fireplace, making this happen is easier than you might think. American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, would like to show you why.

Versatile manufactured fireplaces

Today’s manufactured fireplaces come in a range of sizes, shapes, configurations, finishes, and designs. They’re completely factory-built and ready to be installed in virtually any wall in your home. They draft through a chase housing installed on the exterior wall.

Many people want a new fireplace because they’re tired of dealing with a masonry fireplace that doesn’t heat very well and is too drafty. Manufactured fireplaces, whether gas- or wood-burning, produce high levels of heat and block drafts with a closed-combustion system. They’ll outwork any masonry fireplace and can be installed in main rooms or smaller rooms.

Powerful fireplace inserts

Maybe you really like the look of your masonry fireplace and wish it worked better. The solution is a new gas or wood fireplace insert.

Inserts are designed to fit into a masonry fireplace’s firebox. They vent through their own pipes that run up the existing chimney, and they operate much like traditional masonry fireplaces.

Fireplace inserts give you the warmth and efficiency you want while preserving the beauty of your masonry fireplace.

Are you looking for convenience?

Gas and wood fireplaces and inserts are valuable additions to a home, but they all require some maintenance, cleaning, and professional service. If you would love a beautiful fireplace but don’t have time to maintain it, consider going with a new electric fireplace.

Built to look exactly like its gas and wood counterparts, an electric fireplace will heat a room and present a lovely firebox without you having to worry about cleaning or maintenance. 

Unique technology gives electric fireplaces a stunning appearance:

• Surprisingly realistic “flames” with special LED light technology
• Tasteful fuel bed designs that add to the authentic appearance
• “Logs” with the shapes, textures, and colors of real harvested firewood
• Sound effects that mimic the soothing crackling of burning logs

Working with a fireplace installer

An experienced fireplace installation company can make adding a new fireplace to your home straightforward. You’ll start by going over the style of fireplace you prefer and zero in on the exact model that delivers the heat you want and the appearance you desire.

During installation, your fireplace technician will be familiar with the appliance’s specs and the state and local building codes that apply to residential heating units. A good fireplace installer will ensure your new appliance is installed safely and correctly.
