Owning a fireplace comes with the responsibility of knowing how to use it correctly to prevent any fire hazards in the home, say the experts.

The best time to purchase a fireplace is in summer or autumn, according to David Wantling of macD Firehouse: “This is because you are likely to get a more competitive price and a quicker installation than in the busy winter months.” Monique Peacock of Hydrofire agrees: “There isn’t really a best time to purchase a fireplace, but I would recommend that customers start purchasing early in the year before the big winter rush.
