If you do not have a chimney but want a fireplace, you may want to consider a vent-free fireplace. With this option, the heat produced stays in your home, which makes a vent-free fireplace perfect for heat and cost efficiency.

Do you want to increase the heat efficiency of your masonry fireplace? If so, it can help to consider a slanted back, which allows the heat to radiate into the room better. Glass doors are also heat efficient and hold in heat after the fire is extinguished.

There are many steps you can take to protect your chimney from leaks and water damage. Improvements such as waterproofing and professional-grade chimney caps can really make a difference.
