Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

In most cases, you should not put a TV on a fireplace mantel. The minimum width required to put a TV safely on a shelf or mantel is 10 inches, but pre-made mantels are usually too shallow, averaging at only seven inches deep. If you do choose to place a TV above a mantel, it should be mounted to the wall. However, do so cautiously as heat radiating from the fireplace could potentially cause damage to electronics.

The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. 

Chimney cleaning is an important task you must perform at least once a year to remove dangerous soot and creosote buildup, which can cause fires and increase the amount of dangerous carbon monoxide entering the home. If you use your chimney frequently, you may need to clean it more often. Call a chimney sweep if you notice smoke entering your home when you use your fireplace, difficulty keeping your fire going, a campfire smell, or if the fire damper is black.

If properly constructed with the right materials, a chimney crown can last 50 to 70 years. If done poorly, your chimney cap could need replacing in 20 years or less.
