Owning a fireplace comes with the responsibility of knowing how to use it correctly to prevent any fire hazards in the home, say the experts.
The best time to purchase a fireplace is in summer or autumn, according to David Wantling of macD Firehouse: “This is because you are likely to get a more competitive price and a quicker installation than in the busy winter months.” Monique Peacock of Hydrofire agrees: “There isn’t really a best time to purchase a fireplace, but I would recommend that customers start purchasing early in the year before the big winter rush. This will prevent delays in installation and also give you time to test your fireplace before the cold sets in.”
