"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

For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn’t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other types of fireplace inserts, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they’re banned in certain places (including California).

Chimneys should either be sealed or waterproofed, which is different from sealing off—closing at both ends—a chimney. Waterproofing and sealing are both crucial steps to take to prevent water damage and the chimney leaking inside the house. While waterproofing is more comprehensive, both help safeguard your chimney, extending its life span and preventing expensive repairs. 

How big a fire pit should be depends on how many people you want to get around it on a regular basis, and how big your space is. The average fire pit size is between 36 and 44 inches. However, if you regularly host big gatherings and have the appropriate outdoor space, you can go as big as 72 inches.

If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can use vinegar to clean quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.

You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher—and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.
