Similarly one may ask, do all houses have to have a chimney?While fireplaces are a common feature in modern-day homes — even in warm climates — actual chimneys are becoming somewhat of a home-building relic. Chimneys are most common in homes built before 1900, while fireplaces experienced a bump in popularity in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Not all fireplaces need a chimney.Additionally, why do you need a chimney? Think of a chimney and the flue within it as a structure built to protect you.
