It’s a cold winter night in Cape Town. The city lights are bright, and you can hear the Atlantic ocean’s waves crash as you settle into your chair with a glass of wine. Your electric heater keeps the room nice and cosy while you relax after a long week at the office. Suddenly, everything goes dark. It’s an unexpected power failure, and you cannot believe your bad luck.

You light some candles to break the darkness around you. But then, the sheer winter cold hits you like a train. If only you had a way to generate heat in your home without the need for electricity. If only you had a fireplace in your home. Luckily, Home Fires has a variety of fireplaces for sale in Cape Town.

Which Fireplace Should I Buy for My Home?

• Identifying the Perfect Room for Your Fireplace: Before buying a fireplace for your home, you must identify a room in your home that would be an ideal space for your fireplace to stand in. Living rooms and verandas are popular choices for indoor fireplaces. In some cases, houses in Cape Town already have wall cavities and chimneys that are ideal for housing a fireplace.

  Once you’ve established which room you want to install your fireplace in, you should measure the dimensions of the room to calculate its volume. This will determine the size and output of the ideal fireplace for this specific room.

• Identifying the Perfect Fireplace Type: Our selection of fireplaces for sale in Cape Town covers freestanding and built-in options. If your home does not have a wall cavity or chimney, you can always buy a freestanding fireplace. Such a fireplace can be vented through a sidewall or vertically through the roof of the room in which you want to install it.

Moreover, you will have a choice between a standard open, closed slow combustion, or gas-powered fireplace. This choice will mostly come down to personal preference and the preferred methods in which you want your fireplace to operate. Home Fires also sells the necessary installation accessories to ensure that you have everything that you need for a proper and professional installation in your home.
