"Scheduling went well and they did everything they said they were going to do. They gave us an evaluation and report after the inspection. However, we have never used the fireplace so we are not sure if what they did was effective. But, they did not leave any mess behind and they were professional."
"Once I had bought the deal on Angie's List, I received instructions via email to call Frontpoint directly to set it up. I called and spoke to Oscar, and the process was very smooth. The email contained some order codes that let Oscar know exactly what I had purchased, and setup was quick from there. He ran a credit check to confirm eligibility (it's a 3-yr contract), then had me set my intial PIN, Safety words, address, and credit card for billing. That was it. It took 2 days to assemble my hardware package, and 2 more days for it to arrive. The sensors, control panel, and manuals came assembled in a really nice flip-top display box. Everything was numbered in order, like "do this first," etc. The sensors were all numbered for easy reference. All batteries were included. It was really slick. Setup of the hardware took about a half-hour; I was easily able to do it myself. The sensors are peel-and-stick; deciding which doors and windows to target took longer than the actual installation. The fire/smoke alarm is peel-and-stick. The motion sensor is sitting right on our fireplace mantel. I hung the control panel using included screws. Everything is wireless; once the system was turned on, all the sensors were automatically detected. Did I mention how slick it is? I called Frontpoint at 10pm, just as they were clothing, and the assiciate was nonetheless very polite. Activation took minutes. He walked me through different methods of arming and disarming, and could see my system was responding correctly. He gave me a 2hr delay in police activation so I could get used to the system without accidentally tripping it. He even gave me the rest of the month (~5 days) free, and said billing would start at the first of the next month! I checked my bill, and it's legit. Again, very slick. Once it was up and running, I got an email to set up my online account. The website, contracted through alarm.com, is really nice. You can custom-name your sensors, set up email/text alerts, create additional users/PINs ... really nice. I downloaded the App for Android, and it's also very nice. You can arm/disarm and see the recent sensor history. This, combined with the wireless setup, is WAY MORE than any of my friends have through ADT, Broadview, etc. My system is the belle of the ball, at lower cost ($99 equipment, no setup fee, $42/mo, killer web functionality, DIY expansion). So far, the first month has been great. We left town for a week right after installing it, and gave someone one of the keyfobs so they could check on the house, and their own User PIN for emergencies (which we can deactivate any time). They had no problems, and the alerts let us know exactly when they came and went (the keyfobs are labeled in the alerts). The piece of mind is PRICELESS. I'm glad we set this up before an incident, instead of after. I hear that additional Z-wave sensors are very easy to add, and available through third parties as well as Frontpoint. Additional window sensors, water leak sensors, pipe freeze sensors, you name it. Even home-automation sensors, which can be controlled via the web and phone apps! I look forward to getting some and trying them out. Great job (so far) Frontpoint! "
Pellet stoves are designed to operate quietly, often emitting only a soft hum from the combustion fan and auger. Compared to traditional wood-burning stoves or furnaces, modern pellet stoves are relatively quiet during operation. This minimal noise ensures they can efficiently heat living spaces without causing disruption, making them a preferred choice for those seeking both comfort and peace of mind.
Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.
Cleaning your own chimney can be risky, especially if it hasn't been done in a long time and you lack the proper tools, knowledge, and safety equipment. The process involves getting onto the roof and handling soot, which poses safety issues. Remember, inhaling chimney soot is a significant health risk. Wearing the proper respiratory equipment is required.
To build a patio with a built-in fire pit, expect to pay an average of $6,750. The cost to build a patio alone is an average of $3,500. Although the cost of construction is higher, the patio and fire pit combination offers a better resale value than a patio alone or a patio with a fire pit add-on.
The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
