You come home after a long day’s work at the office. You want to relax and unwind, so you grab a drink from the fridge and kick back on the couch that is in front of the television. This winter has been excessively cold, and just as you turn on the heater in the room, the power goes out. Frustrated, you get up and walk to the window to see if the streetlights are out as well.

You are met with a dark and silent view and quickly realise that it is not only your house that is affected by this sudden and unexpected power outage. You check your phone for the latest loadshedding schedule, but nothing is showing up. This is something else. And now, you are stuck in a cold house – with no efficient way of generating heat or light. This is where an open fireplace can be your solution.

The Benefits of an Open Fireplace in Your Home

• Providing a Source of Heat and Light: People who have access to an open fireplace in their home can utilise such a fireplace as a source of heat and light generation. Furthermore, such a fireplace can create a welcoming and relaxing aura to enjoy.
• An Alternative Source of Heat Generation: Most homes in South Africa have electrically powered heaters or floor heating solutions to generate heat for the colder winter months. However, these devices and solutions are dependent on electricity. With constant loadshedding and unexpected power failures, it is wise to have an alternative source of heat generation in your home – one that doesn’t require electricity to function properly.

• Cutting Costs on Monthly Utility Bills: If you use your open fireplace to generate heat in your home as opposed to relying on your electrical appliances, you can save on your monthly utility bill. The price of utilities can become outrageous in households that house 5 of more people. Therefore, installing an open fireplace becomes a feasible solution for the colder winter months.

• Increasing Your Property Value: Finally, by installing an open fireplace in your home, you will increase the overall property value of your home. Home Fires sells a variety of installation accessories to ensure that you can properly vent your fireplace and finish off the installation with a professional touch.
