Get matched with top fireplace pros in Augusta, KS

Q: What kind of fireplace is best for resale?

• <div><p>Gas-powered fireplaces seem to be the most desirable type for homebuyers, per a <a href="https://www.redfin.com/us-home-trends">Redfin</a> report on homebuying trends. That said, any fireplace that has been maintained well and is in safe, working condition could be a draw for buyers, regardless of whether it uses wood logs, propane, or electricity as fuel.</p></div>

Q: Can I use an existing chimney for a wood-burning stove?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use an existing chimney with a wood-burning stove if it meets specific requirements. The stove&rsquo;s vent pipe size must be compatible with the size of your chimney flue. Your contractor can tell you whether your chimney is suitable for installation.</p></div>

Q: How tall are chimney caps typically?

• <div><p>Ideally, your chimney cap should be at least 8 inches above the top of the flue, though it's better if it's even higher. You want it to sit that high because it won't affect the chimney's draft, which pulls the smoke up and out of your chimney and away from your home.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a chimney?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-it-cost-replace-and-rebuild-masonry-chimney.htm">cost to replace a chimney</a> is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.</p></div>

Q: How far should an outdoor wood furnace be from the house?

• <div><p>Your state, city, or even homeowners insurance company may have requirements on how far the outdoor wood furnace should be from the house, so be sure to abide by those regulations. In general, you should install an outdoor wood furnace or boiler as few as 30 feet or as much as 500 feet from the house or any other building.</p></div>
