If you have ever thought about purchasing or building a prefabricated wood burning fireplace, then I’m sure you have come to the same conclusion as many homeowners and business owners across the country. A prefab chimney installation in New York could very well be the best investment you make for your home. Here’s why.

benefits of a prefab chimney

There are several benefits of a prefabricated fireplace. One, it’s cheaper than the real deal. When you buy a prefabricated kit, the builder sets everything up at the factory for you including the masonry chimney, flue and venting system. Then all you need to do is follow the prefabricated “how-to” instructions that come with the kit, and within a matter of hours, you have a beautiful masonry chimney with a clean and modern look.

Another benefit of a prefab chimney is that it’s easier to install. There’s no need for you to hire an experienced masonry contractor or other skilled professionals to erect a chimney or install the venting system and other components of your new fireplace. The prefab kits come complete with everything you need to construct a fireplace with flue, chimney, and venting system. In addition to having everything you need at the factory, you also have options if you’d rather purchase masonry bricks or other masonry products at a local brick and mortar home improvement store. Brickmoulding is a great option if you don’t want the expense of purchasing prefabricated products at the factory.

prefab chimney maintenance

Lastly, prefab chimneys require less upkeep than other types of fireplaces. Maintaining a wood stove requires frequent repairs, which costs money; with prefabricated fireplaces, there are no repairs needed. Also, these fireplaces are designed so that they don’t have any sort of messy ash build up.
