The Benefits of Summer Fireplace Installation


Minimal Disruption, Optimal Timing: The summer months offer a reasonable window for fireplace installation, eliminating the discomfort and disruption associated with such projects during the colder seasons. With reduced reliance on heating solutions, homeowners can seamlessly integrate a new fireplace without compromising their comfort or daily routines.


Strategic Planning for Energy Efficiency: Upgrading to a more energy-efficient fireplace model during the summer allows homeowners ample time to familiarise themselves with new features and optimise their heating strategies. By investing in efficient systems now, households can transform their living spaces into cosy, cost-effective havens, ready to provide warmth and reduced energy consumption when winter arrives.


Leveraging Cost-Efficiency: The off-peak season often brings financial incentives, such as discounts on installations and attractive pricing on high-end fireplace models. By seizing this opportunity, homeowners can maximise their investment, securing top-tier products while benefiting from cost-saving opportunities.

Avoiding the Winter Rush

As the warmth of summer envelops us, it presents an opportune moment to sidestep the inevitable rush that accompanies the arrival of winter. By proactively scheduling your fireplace installation during these temperate months, you can circumvent the seasonal surge in demand, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free process. Beat the crowds and have your fireplace ready well before the first chill sets in, allowing you to bask in the ambience of a newly installed centrepiece without the stress of last-minute scrambling.


Procrastinating until the colder months can lead to extended wait times, limited availability of preferred models, and potential delays due to overwhelming demand. By acting now, you secure your desired fireplace and guarantee a timely installation, giving you the peace of mind and confidence to enjoy its warmth and aesthetic appeal from the onset of winter. Embrace the foresight of planning ahead, and let The Fireplace Centre St Helens guide you through the process, ensuring your home is winter-ready well before the first snowflake falls.

Understanding Energy-Efficient Fireplace Options

Homeowners have various options for energy-efficient fireplaces, each offering unique advantages and contributing to a greener, more sustainable home environment.


Wood-Burning Fireplaces: While traditional wood-burning fireplaces may not be the most energy-efficient option, technological advancements have significantly improved their efficiency ratings. Modern wood-burning fireplaces are designed with catalytic combustors, which promote more complete combustion, reducing emissions and increasing heat output. Additionally, EPA-certified wood-burning fireplaces have strict guidelines for particulate matter emissions, ensuring a cleaner burn and better air quality.


Electric Fireplaces: Electric fireplaces are an increasingly popular choice for homeowners seeking energy efficiency and convenience. These fireplaces generate heat through electric coils or infrared technology, eliminating the need for venting or chimneys. With no emissions and precise temperature control, electric fireplaces offer a highly efficient and eco-friendly heating solution. Many models even have energy-saving features like thermostats and timers, further optimising energy consumption.


Gas Fireplaces: Fueled by natural gas or propane, gas fireplaces offer a clean-burning and efficient alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces. These fireplaces boast high-efficiency ratings, with some models achieving up to 90% efficiency in heat transfer. Additionally, gas fireplaces produce minimal emissions, making them an environmentally friendly choice. They also provide consistent and controllable heat, allowing homeowners to quickly adjust the temperature and ambience of their living spaces. Regardless of the type of fireplace you choose, it's essential to consider energy efficiency ratings and certifications. Look for models tested and certified by reputable organisations, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Hearth, Patio, and Barbecue Association (HPBA), [which ensure the fireplace meets strict emissions, efficiency, and safety guidelines]. These certifications provide your home peace of mind and a sustainable heating solution.

Cost-Saving Opportunities in the Off-Season

The summer months present a prime window for savvy homeowners to capitalise on cost-saving incentives when investing in a new fireplace. Traditionally, the off-peak season ushers in various discounts and promotions from manufacturers and retailers, making it an ideal time to secure top-tier products at attractive prices.


At The Fireplace Centre St Helens, we understand the importance of value and strive to pass along substantial savings to our customers. During the warmer months, you can expect enticing discounts on various fireplace models, from traditional wood-burning units to cutting-edge electric and gas alternatives. These limited-time offers not only make high-end products more accessible but also ensure you get the most bang for your buck. Moreover, the off-season often sees manufacturers providing promotional pricing on select models, further amplifying the cost-effectiveness of your investment. Our knowledgeable staff stays abreast of these ever-changing promotions, guiding you towards the best deals and securing the perfect fireplace at an unbeatable price. Beyond the discounts and promotions, the summer period generally presents a more favourable pricing environment across the industry. With demand typically lower during these months, retailers are more inclined to offer competitive pricing, making it an opportune time to secure your dream fireplace without breaking the bank.
