"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 questions, answered by experts

A fireplace's lifespan varies significantly depending on its type, the quality of construction, the materials used, and how well it is maintained. On average, you can expect a fireplace to last between 10 and 30 years, with many homeowners experiencing major issues after about 20 years.

Here's a breakdown by type:

  • Gas Inserts: Typically last 10 to 25 years with proper maintenance.

  • Electric Fireplaces: Have a lifespan of up to 20 years.

  • Traditional Brick Fireplaces: Can last for centuries, but require ongoing maintenance and repairs, such as tuckpointing.

While it is possible to clean your own chimney and fireplace with the appropriate brushes and safety gear, hiring a professional is often recommended. A professional ensures thorough creosote removal and compliance with safety standards. They can also safely access high or hidden areas that may be difficult for a homeowner to reach, providing comprehensive assurance that the job is completed correctly and safely.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that chimneys and their associated elements like fireplaces, vents, or stoves should be cleaned at least once a year before the start of seasonal use. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a chimney should be cleaned when there is 1/8 inch of soot buildup. If there’s more than that, creosote—a flammable byproduct of burning wood—can form and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

Regular fireplace servicing is vital for safety and efficiency. You must inspect and clean wood-burning fireplaces annually to remove creosote buildup and address potential issues. Gas fireplaces benefit from annual inspections to ensure proper functioning and safety. More frequent servicing may be necessary if you use your fireplace extensively or live in an area with harsh winters. Always consult a local professional to establish a suitable servicing schedule for your fireplace.
