Experts urge anyone with a fireplace to do this one thing before winter for the health and safety of their family

There’s no denying that mornings are getting colder, nights are getting darker, and the leaves are already starting to fall. And while it’s not quite time to turn the heating on just yet, many people will be getting ready to open up their fireplaces or fire up their wood burners this month. If you’re one of them, experts warn you to do one thing before you do that.

Of course, the best fireplace ideas offer so much more than that cosy, autumnal aesthetic. They also help you keep your home warm without needing to turn on the heating, especially before winter really sets in. However, it’s important to realise that burning anything in an open fire isn’t conducive to a healthy home environment.
