"Very happy and satisfied with the service and products provided. Absolutely top quality appliance diagnosis and repair. Very timely, responsive, professional and great value. Wish I had known about this company earlier this is definitely the only company I will be going to for appliance repair from this time forward. Need to get word and publicity out about this company â they are relatively new in area and need everyone to know they are out there and do a really excellent job. This is only company in area that I could find (and I checked a lot of companies) that does dryer vent duct cleaning anymore and after cleaning vent duct they follow-up by making sure dryer works correctly which was fortunate in my case cause blocked dryer vent duct was only part of my dryer challenges â so glad they did a thorough job as I am confident now my 20 + year old dryer will last me for many more years. Very good on all appliances."

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.

The disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include a slow heating time and the effort required for fuel. It can take about an hour for a cold stove to produce noticeable heat. Additionally, homeowners must source their own fuel by buying or chopping firewood, cutting it to the appropriate size, and storing it in a dry place. The fire also requires regular attention, as you'll need to add more logs throughout the day.

You can install a range hood and use the vent to protect your kitchen cabinets from heat and steam from the stovetop. For added heat protection, homeowners can install metal heat shields to exposed sections of the cabinets. It is also essential to keep cabinet surfaces clean by removing any grease buildup that can cause a fire.

There are six main choices of fireplace inserts: wood-burning, gas, propane, pellet, electric, and coal. Coal fireplace inserts aren’t as popular as they once were because burning coal emits a lot of carbon monoxide. Any fireplace insert will require proper supervision, and it’s a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room for added safety.

Pellet stoves are used as heat sources for homes. They work by burning biomass pallets, which might be composed of wood, sawdust, or food waste. The pellets are stored in the stove's hopper until the stove is ignited, at which point some are released into the stove's firebox to burn for heat. Unlike most fireplaces, pellet stoves have a thermostat that adjusts the temperature by releasing more or fewer pellets, depending on how warm you want to make your living space.
