Q: Why is it important for buyers to ask when a chimney or fireplace was last inspected?

• <div><p>Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they&rsquo;re thinking of buying, it&rsquo;s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won&rsquo;t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in. </p></div>

Q: What is a fireplace with no chimney called?

• <div><p>A fireplace that doesn&rsquo;t require a chimney is simply called a chimneyless fireplace. Don&rsquo;t confuse these with ventless fireplaces, however. There are some fireplaces that require ventilation via a system of pipes, not a chimney. More specifically, the fireplace in question will likely be called by its name, such as electric, ethanol, or balanced flue.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, masonry fireplaces require an adequately constructed chimney to vent smoke and gases.</p></div>

Q: How do I know what type of fireplace I currently have?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it&rsquo;s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a flue or chimney cap?

• <div><p>If you have a chimney, you need a flue or chimney cap. The right covering keeps rain, debris, and animals from getting into your flue or chimney and causing damage. A flue or chimney cap also provides fire protection. The mesh insert around the cap keeps sparks from flying out of the chimney and igniting leaves and other materials.</p></div>

We hired Eric and his crew for a concrete patio, outdoor fireplace and stuccoed pony walls for a cooking countertop. They did exceptional work on time. We have been exceptionally pleased with their craftsmanship and would absolutely hire them again.

They cleaned my two fireplaces. That portion of the work was okay. But they also rearranged the artificial logs and added black crystals that smother the gas burner. Therefore, the fireplaces and gas burners sputtered and barely worked. I had to hire another professional (gas certified) to...

"I not only had an old furnace replaced but also had whole house air conditioning added. Very professional family business. Their estimate beat out two other HVAC businesses here in Lompocâ ¦â ¦ one of them by thousands of dollars. It paid to get three estimates. Daniel was easy to work with and honest. One of the other HVAC businesses in Lompoc is interested in selling you all kinds of stuff that increased his estimate by thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Ace Heating & AC."
