Q: Do outdoor fireplaces require regular maintenance?

• <div><p>Outdoor fireplaces are extremely sturdy if constructed correctly, but they do require regular maintenance. The good news is that cleaning and checking the fireplace needs to be done just once a year. However, for safety reasons, let a professional clean the fireplace. Homeowners should expect to pay between <b>$100</b> <b>and</b> <b>$300</b> for outdoor fireplace maintenance. Any damage to the fireplace itself, however, will cost much more to repair. </p></div>

Q: How does chimney removal impact the value of my home?

• <div><p>Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home&rsquo;s value by up to $5,000.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a fireplace after the insert is removed?

• <div><p>In some cases, you can use a fireplace once the insert has been removed. However, before burning a fire, you must have a professional inspect it and the chimney to make sure they're functioning properly and no damage has occurred from removing the insert. That&rsquo;s because using a fireplace without an insert could create fire hazards due to issues with airflow and heat dispersion, depending on the fireplace design and material. A professional can advise on whether you should make certain repairs or modifications before using your fireplace as an open hearth.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a pro add a damper to a chimney?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/chimney-damper-replacement-cost.htm">cost to replace a chimney damper</a> ranges from <b>$160 to $520</b>, depending on the type of damper and the complexity of the installation. If you're looking to repair an existing damper, expect to pay around <b>$100 and $225,</b> depending on the extent of the damage and your location. Hiring a professional ensures proper installation or repair, which can help maintain energy efficiency and prevent drafts, making it a worthwhile investment for long-term savings. </p></div>

Q: Can I clean my own chimney?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
