Fireplaces are often discouraged as a source of heat. They can be inefficient and often end up costing more than using other methods to heat a home. However, many people find the look, smell and sound of burning wood to be appealing and prefer it as a heat source. There are a number of ways to increase the effectiveness of your fireplace and increase the amount of heat that enters your home, rather than escaping out the chimney.
1
Clean the fireplace and chimney to ensure that the fireplace is safe and working properly.
2
Keep the damper closed when not in use. An open damper pulls warm air out of the house.
3
Open any glass or metal doors when the fireplace is in use. Keep them closed otherwise to prevent heat loss to the chimney.
4
Place an insert called a fireback against the back wall of the fireplace. These metal sheets reflect heat back into the room even after the fire has burned out.
5
Install fans that blow heated air into the room. These fans prevent the heat from escaping through the chimney by directing the heated air back into the room.
6
Install a wood burning stove into the existing fireplace opening. Wood burning stoves radiate more heat and will provide warmth after the flames have been extinguished. They provide a more efficient source of heat than a traditional fireplace.
