my home has a fake fireplace with 1950's electric logs. can i make this into a real wood burning fireplace? | |
house was built in the 40's and the fireplace was for looks. it is perfect for a real fireplace. it is the real size of a working fireplace only not masonary correct or connected to outside.
Answers:
1Do you have an existing flue/chimney...........if so yes it can be done. It will not be cheap but possibly worth the cost. You should contact a local contractor, and get some estimates, you may have to do quite a bit of work but it would be an improvement, and could increase the value of your home. Check to see if you have fire brick already there etc.
Best of luck!

i agree with the other person, however it is not going to be cheap, you need to weigh the pros/cons, it only increases the value of a home 54-71%, so you have to think about the going rate in your market.
if it's ambiance you want, then go for it.
the most expensive parts of installing a fireplace is all of it.
