Welcome to the Fireplaces Channel, a BobVila.com Web Site.

Fireplaces warm the home – and your heart. Whether you have a 200-year-old masonry firebox, a modern gas-burning direct-vent model, or a simple wood-burning stove in a country cabin, the warm glow of flickering flames can take the chill off of any winter morning.

BobVila.com's Fireplaces Channel is your first stop for learning more about buying, building, and maintaining your fireplace. Get information on shopping for new models, watch videos of installation and repair techniques, and get style and design ideas for your next project.

Home Maintenance Checklist Here's a simple bi-annual "Top to Bottom" checklist to keep your home in shape year round.
