"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

Some homes with wood-burning fireplaces don't have ash pits due to design choices, construction practices, or the age of the house. Many older abodes don't have them because ash pits weren't a standard feature when they were built. Additionally, in smaller homes or homes with less frequent fireplace use, builders might have opted to forgo an ash pit to reduce costs or simplify maintenance.

There are several maintenance tips you should take to ensure your pellet stove's safety and proper maintenance. You should vacuum the ash pan every week to prevent overflowing and clean the stove and surrounding vents every three to four months. It’s also important to get a professional inspection every year and install a carbon monoxide detector close to your stove. Be sure to dispose of hot ashes in a closed metal container; store it outside, away from the house. Only use the pellets recommended by your stove's manufacturer, and follow any cleaning and maintenance instructions.

You can control the flame on a pellet stove by using a damper, often located on the back of the pellet stove. While the damper function varies by model, you can open the damper slightly to let in more air or close it slightly to provide less oxygen, with the ultimate goal of providing a steady flame.

An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.

Chimney liners often benefit from insulation, though it is not always required. Insulation helps improve the liner's efficiency by keeping flue gasses hotter, which enhances draft and reduces creosote buildup. It also prevents condensation, which can lead to corrosion. Insulation is important for chimneys on exterior walls or in colder climates. Some building codes may require insulation, so checking local regulations is essential.
