"I called Moore Heating to come out and give us an estimate to replace our nearly 30 year old boiler and 18 year old hot water heater.  Tom came out on a Saturday and spent over two hours discussing options.  I was impressed with his knowledge and ability to explain how the different types of systems would perform in our situation.  I told him I would be getting two more estimates and would let him know if they were competitive. 

I got the other estimates and decided to go with a 95% efficient sealed combustion boiler and an indirect fired hot water heater from Moore Heating. 

The day of the installation, Tom and Jerry, the lead installer showed up on time and began working.  The outside temperature at the time was -10 degrees and by the end of the day we had heat and hot water.  Jerry came out the following day to finish the job and when I came home to inspect the work, I was completely impressed with the quality of his work.  All pipes were plumb, horizontal  and vertical.  Very clean install!  Extreme pride in his workmanship was obvious and I let him know that was the first thing I noticed.

Since the install there have been no problems and Tom's follow up throughout the process has been superb.

I had a gas fireplace insert installed by Moore Heating about ten years ago and it turned out that Jerry had done the install back then.  Have never had a problem in ten years.

Great job Moore Heating!

"We have Frontpoint at two houses. We had been looking for ways to cut our monthly expenses (Frontpoint is approx. $100 per month total), so I called them to find out what I could do. They informed me that I was under contract for another year, and that I cannot get out of the contract without an early termination fee that is equal to the cost of the service. I'm a little disappointed, because the upfront cost of the system was very expensive ($1,000+) for each house, so it seems odd that I would get sucked into this contract. Nevertheless, I forgot that I signed up for this with them. My calendar is marked for the day that my service ends, and I will be switching to a company that charges about half of what they do. They have OK customer service and are very responsive, but the wireless system had some issues with reception in my house due to a fireplace, and then they didn't want to work with me to get that resolved. They're OK, but I can't really recommend them."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you’re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don’t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation—you’ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it’s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

A 40-pound bag of wood pellets can provide a solid 24 hours or so of burn time, though the exact length may vary. If you’re using your pellet stove as an exclusive heat source during the winter, you’ll need an estimated 100 to 150 of those 40-pound bags, depending on how hot you like to keep your home, its size, the climate, and other factors.

Not all gas fireplaces need a chimney. If you install a ventless gas fireplace, it will release low levels of combustion byproducts back into your living space (instead of pushing them outside through a chimney or vent). Ventless fireplaces burn fuel efficiently, so the emissions are minimal—but they could bother people with allergies or respiratory issues.

You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won’t threaten healthy trees. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season—do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.
