Abandoning our wood burning fireplace as childproofing

When my child started moving around the house, my pal and I realized how several things my pal and I had to let go of because they were safety hazards. That included our fireplace. I did not ever want to assume about what would happen if he crawled into it or touched it. I know my thoughts are extreme, but caution is better than regret. I mentioned my idea to an Heating as well as A/C professional neighbor from my childhood, as well as he thought my pal and I should turn it off instead of removing it because it would affect the home’s value, even though I was too far invested in the removal, then eventually, my pal and I did get a heating worker from the local heating company to come to look at it as well as make suggestions on what my pal and I could do with it. My pal and I had a heating system, so my pal and I weren’t going to be lacking in heating unit for the house, as well as the Heating as well as A/C replacement was well took care of to last us a long time without heating repair. I had all the arguments set for the heating contractor if they tried to convince me not to remove the heating device, but the odds were clearly not for that decision. The heating repair expert told us that demolition would require permits, a grueling process I did not want to partake in. That began my acceptance that the fireside would be there, only that my pal and I could not use it. However, the heating dealership told me that if I started using it again, I could transition it from gas to an electric heater, where a temperature control would allow me to control it. I was not satisfied with the solution, even though I no longer thought the removal process was easy once the worker explained it to me.
