Expert Fireplace Rebuilds & Renovations
Our forebears developed a process of building fireplaces years back, and while it often achieved beautiful results (which we still enjoy looking at in historic homes around Upstate South Carolina), the old approach didn't produce the most efficient heating units. Many fireplaces in homes today are nearly unchanged from the ones built hundreds of years ago. They're drafty, inefficient and will generally raise your heating bill by allowing more heat to leave your home than they even produce. The typical American fireplace makes for a great entertainment device, but can be seriously lacking as an economical heat source. Worse, typical fireplace construction includes a number of flaws that are potentially hazardous.
While it's true they don't make most things like they used to, that idiom goes out the window when it comes to fireplaces. With fireplaces, modern construction is a good thing! Modern technology allows us to build and install fireplaces that work cleanly and efficiently so that homeowners can enjoy them without worrying about safety. If you have an old fireplace that isn't functioning the way it should or could, Chim Cheree’s technicians can renovate it so that it looks beautiful and works as efficiently and as safely as possible.
Whether you’re looking to renovate an existing fireplace or you're planning on building a new home, we can build, rebuild or install a modern, efficient fireplace that lets you enjoy entertaining without wasting energy. Let us bring your fireplace into the 21st century.
