Q: How often do I need to clean my chimney?

• <div><p>You should get your chimney cleaned around once per year, but you might want to opt for bi-annual cleanings if you use your fireplace often. Remember, your boiler likely vents into your chimney as well, so cleaning is required even if you don&rsquo;t use your fireplace. It&rsquo;s a good idea to clean your chimney during the summer so that it&rsquo;s ready to use when you want a worry-free cozy fire on that first crisp autumn night of the season.</p></div>

Q: Is a fireplace insert safer than a fireplace?

• <div><p>Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.</p><p>Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.</p></div>

Q: Can I operate my electric fireplace without the remote?

• <div><p>Yes, you can operate an electric fireplace (and other types of fireplaces) without the remote. If you&rsquo;ve misplaced the remote or are waiting for the replacement to arrive, you can still control the fireplace at the access panel. You can find the access panel near the firebox, typically located at the bottom or top of this section.</p></div>

Q: Why is the inside of my glass fireplace foggy?

• <div><p>This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors. </p></div>

Q: Can you put a TV on a fireplace mantel?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

This is the second time that I have had Arcflash Electric come out to work on my 5 year old solar system and both time he did a great job. In both cases separate parts of the system malfunctioned while still under warranty. Tony helped me collect the information and submit the claim forms...

Arias trimmed up an Oak tree in my front yard. It had never been done, so it was a big job. Now, the tree looks like a piece of art. A job well done. They removed 3 tree stumps as well. Cleaned up after the job. They have the right equipment and are very professional.
