  Along with concerns over the environment, the iconic fireplace has lost some of its luster but it is still a favorite for many people. The natural ambiance of a fireplace invokes very special recollections for those who have them. The fireplace offers numerous benefits for your home, but there are also a few important downsides that need to be fixed. With the cost of energy increasing each year, your fireplace needs to dissipate energy in a very cost effective way. Whilst having a fire going in a fireplace keeps the people close to it warm, it actually removes warm air from the rest of the room, causing your furnace to work harder. When there is no fire, a damper should control the airflow. Unfortunately, fireplace dampers are usually very inefficient in keeping warm air in the house and cold air out.
  
  Many families that currently have a fireplace in their home dont realize how the fireplace can have an effect on their energy bill. As opposed to saving resources, and heating costs, it is typically adding hundreds of dollars of energy expense. There's a simple way to take your inefficient fireplace, and remake it into a heat creating system that your budget will love. There are at least four basic things that you could certainly do to fix up your fireplace. These will make your fireplace very affordable and very efficient.
  
  Step one is to take away your damper and replace it with a top sealing damper. This kind of damper is positioned at the top of your chimney and helps to stop rain from coming in. It will keep the inside air from coming out, and the outside air from coming into the house, and performs in hot weather or cold. This will not take much time to install and you can find one online. A second thing you're able to do is to place a fire-back at the back of your fireplace. A fire-back consists of cast iron and it is meant to protect the back wall from fire damage while making your fireplace look stylish. The fire-back actually heats up from the fire and adds the heat back into a room, consequently improving the efficiency of the fireplace.
  
  Next point that can help is a fireplace heater, which heats the room air that is being circulated through a chamber, and blows it back into the room. These heating elements are sealed systems, so no smoke is released, and they can really make a difference in the temperature of your house. And finally, installing glass doors, even though a bit on the pricey side, can be effective in making your fireplace cost efficient. If you do your homework,you can definitely get an excellent deal on glass doors and they are not that difficult to install yourself. These doors form a screen between the hearth and living space, not only making the area less for the furnace to heat, but also affording some protection.
