There have been debates regarding whether you should have a chimney on your house or not. What we want to do is put this subject to rest by examining the ways chimneys benefit us. If you are designing a property and aren’t sure if you want one, the following information will help.
Cost effective
Having a chimney in your home will be cost efficient because it saves you money in ways you would not imagine. The chimney’s main job is to move smoke, steam, and even smells out of your home. During this process, cooler fresh air enters the property via the same route.
Having a chimney can minimise the use of your air conditioner. As a result, you will be able to save money on your monthly energy bills. Moreover, it keeps the ceiling and walls clean, lowering the need for repainting.
You could have a chimney in many areas of the property. For example it could be in the main living room, especially if you have a real fire or a log burner. You may also want an opening in the main bedroom or kitchen.
Enjoy a safer environment
A chimney shall also produce a safer environment for everyone in the kitchen. During deep-frying and similar cooking activities, hot gases get produced. These are ones that contain carbon monoxide. Breathing such gases can harm your health because they displace the oxygen in our bodies. When present in high concentrations, these can prove deadly. In addition, cooking can produce soot and grease.
Many people will have some kind of extractor over their hob so they can get rid of the gas. However, you can get the same results with a chimney. This can help keep the air cleaner and clearer. Some people also want a feature fireplace in their kitchen so it is even more important to have a chimney.
