Q: What is a fireplace with no chimney called?

• <div><p>A fireplace that doesn&rsquo;t require a chimney is simply called a chimneyless fireplace. Don&rsquo;t confuse these with ventless fireplaces, however. There are some fireplaces that require ventilation via a system of pipes, not a chimney. More specifically, the fireplace in question will likely be called by its name, such as electric, ethanol, or balanced flue.</p></div>

Q: How effective are wood-burning stoves?

• <div><p>Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That&rsquo;s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.</p></div>

Q: Which way is open on a fireplace flue?

• <div><p>Your fireplace flue is open when the chimney is unsealed and open to the outside air and sky. That&rsquo;s why one of the best ways to figure out if your flue is open is to visually check for daylight inside of your chimney&mdash;or to feel for a draft, which may be generated by the difference in temperatures inside and outside of your home.</p></div>

Q: How long does fireplace repair take?

• <div><p>Most repairs take 2-6 hours, but extensive fixes or part replacements may require additional time.</p></div>

Q: How much does a fireplace add to home value?

• <div><p>A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.</p><p>However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.</p></div>
