Q: What is the difference between a wood fireplace and a wood insert?

• <div><p>They&rsquo;re both <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-wood-burning-fireplace-options-heat-your-home.htm">types of wood-burning fireplaces</a>, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to rebuild a fireplace?

• <div><p>The cost to rebuild a fireplace varies dramatically depending on what you want to do and the type of fireplace you are rebuilding. A simple electric fireplace can be replaced with ease and at a low cost. On the other end of the spectrum, a wood-burning fireplace could cost well into the tens of thousands. The good news is functioning fireplaces increase your home&rsquo;s value and are generally a good investment. </p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to install a fireplace outside?

• <div><p>Installing a fireplace outside could be more affordable, but that depends on several factors. If you&rsquo;re only considering an outdoor fireplace to save on installation costs, you may be surprised once you start receiving quotes. On average, an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-outdoor-fireplace-cost.htm">outdoor fireplace costs</a> around $3,000 to install, but the price can vary significantly depending on how ambitious your outdoor design plans are. </p></div>

Q: Can I use water to put out a fire in my fireplace?

• <div><p>You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher&mdash;and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a fireplace after the insert is removed?

• <div><p>In some cases, you can use a fireplace once the insert has been removed. However, before burning a fire, you must have a professional inspect it and the chimney to make sure they're functioning properly and no damage has occurred from removing the insert. That&rsquo;s because using a fireplace without an insert could create fire hazards due to issues with airflow and heat dispersion, depending on the fireplace design and material. A professional can advise on whether you should make certain repairs or modifications before using your fireplace as an open hearth.</p></div>
