Why Summer is the Best Time for a Fireplace Makeover
As the warmer months approach, thoughts of cozy evenings by the fireplace might seem out of place; however, if you've been considering a fireplace makeover, now is the perfect time. Whether you're looking to replace an old wood-burning fireplace or upgrade to a more efficient and stylish option, tackling this project during the summer months offers several advantages.
Waiting until the colder months to replace your fireplace can lead to delays due to high demand. As temperatures decrease, many homeowners begin thinking about installing or upgrading their fireplaces, resulting in increased competition for installation services. By acting early, you can avoid the rush and secure a convenient installation schedule.
The installation process itself is often faster during the summer. With more daylight hours and generally milder weather conditions, installers can work more efficiently, completing the project in less time. This means you can enjoy your new fireplace sooner and start reaping the benefits long before the chill of winter sets in.
Let's take a closer look at a real-life example of a fireplace makeover, guided by the expertise of interior designer Katie Kurtz. In this transformation, we see a total glow-up from an outdated wood-burning fireplace to a stunning, modern centerpiece with a Heat & Glo gas insert. "A gas insert gives so much more ease of use," explains Katie. "I love the option to have the flame on or just the glowing ember lights for the ambiance you want, winter or summer." With the flick of a switch, homeowners can effortlessly adjust the level of warmth and ambiance to suit any occasion, whether it's a cozy winter evening or a balmy summer night.
