Q: How do I know if my wood stove is leaking carbon monoxide?

• <div><p>The most common sign of a carbon monoxide leak is the visible black soot marks on the walls near your wood stove. An excess accumulation of smoke in other rooms of your home could also indicate that your wood burning stove is leaking carbon monoxide. If you notice either of these signs or are still unsure, it&rsquo;s best to leave the premises and contact your fire department to check your home&rsquo;s levels. </p></div>

Q: Can a fireplace be built on an existing house?

• <div><p>You can build a fireplace on an existing house, but it&rsquo;s much easier to construct a masonry fireplace when building a new house. To add to an existing house, you&rsquo;ll need to build a chimney and ensure the foundation can support a true masonry fireplace. Alternatively, you can purchase a gas or electric fireplace insert, which isn&rsquo;t as complicated to add to an existing structure.</p></div>

Q: Should a chimney flue be open or closed?

• <div><p>The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-close-chimney-flue.htm">close the chimney flue</a>. The damper should remain closed unless there&rsquo;s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to run a gas fireplace or central heat?

• <div><p>Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don&rsquo;t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.</p></div>
