Q: What are the disadvantages of a ventless fireplace?

• <div><p>The primary disadvantage of a ventless fireplace is that it doesn&rsquo;t have an exterior venting system. This means that the byproducts from combustion are emitted into your home, which raises some safety concerns. In addition, ventless gas fireplaces produce moisture as they burn&mdash;and if there&rsquo;s no ventilation, you could end up with a mold problem.</p></div>

Q: Do electric fireplaces wear out?

• <div><p>Like any other household appliance, electric fireplaces can wear out after about 10 to 20 years. With more frequent use, the parts will wear out quicker, and you may get just 7 to 10 years out of a well-loved electric fireplace. Fortunately, electric fireplaces come with a lower upfront installation cost compared to alternatives like gas, so you can install a replacement for less. </p></div>

Q: What stops water going down a chimney?

• <div><p>Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.</p></div>
