Stan himself came and he had another individual with him that he was "training". He must have been training him on how to do the least amount of work possible. They walked into our living room, looked at the fireplace box from a distance, and said, "It looks fine. Was that all you needed?" I'm not exaggerating. That is literally what they did. We knew there were some issues with our chimney, so when he unbelievably went to his truck to get the invoice (after being here for 5 minutes), we had to suggest to him that he might want to get his ladder and climb up on our roof to look at the top of the chimney. There was some reluctance about doing this, but eventually they went up there and were there for maybe 10 minutes total. They discovered what we already knew...our chimney cap needed replacing, including removal and replacement of the terra cotta at the top. He got a piece of paper and scribbled $550.00 on it. He then proceeded to tell us not to call for the work until next Spring, as he is too busy this time a year. He assured us that it would be safe to use the fireplace as is until then. $95.00 for 15 minutes of work. I am in the wrong line of business! To be fair, he did have to travel a bit to come to our house. Still, I did not feel we were getting good advice, nor a good service for the money we paid. Since we felt uneasy about his assessment and general lack of wanting to do anything, we had to pay another chimney expert to come to our home. This one was much more thorough, and spent the time necessary to discover a crack in our chimney, which renders it useless. They gave us a substantial quote to fix the whole thing, but also said the work at the top shouldn't cost more than $250.00. They seemed willing to do the work right away if necessary. They also recommended not using the fireplace because the cap was so loose that it could be blown off during a wind storm, causing a house fire! I shudder to think what might have happened if we had followed Stan's advice.

I called Nelson for A/C service. Instead of just taking my money they walked me thru a troubleshooting session. I was able to resolve the issue myself. I WILL call them next time.

"We initially contacted TGI for a new wood fireplace insert. They helped us through all of the steps as we needed to remove the existing one and replace the rock front and hearth. As you can see the finished product is beautiful. Highly recommend! Bob (owner) and Cody did fireplace install for mine. They kept the area clear and clean and were able to get the fireplace installed within the day once the rockwork was done. Having young children it's incredibly important who I invite into my home. I would be happy to do business again! Thank you both!!"

Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs.
