Get matched with top fireplace pros in Pajaro, CA

Q: Do fireplace repair companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Certain fireplace repairs will require that your contractor is licensed, including anything that involves moving, installing, or repairing gas lines. In that case, your professional will need to be a certified plumber. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">licensing lookup tool</a> to confirm that the company you&rsquo;re hiring is properly licensed. Most states don&rsquo;t have specific license requirements for other fireplace repairs, but most demand at least a general contractor&rsquo;s license. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to look for companies certified by the National Fireplace Institute, as those pros tend to be more qualified to carry out the repair.</p></div>

Q: Can I light my gas fireplace manually?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace with an electric ignition and you&rsquo;re experiencing a power outage, you will need to light your fireplace&rsquo;s pilot manually before you can start a fire. The instructions should be in the manufacturer&rsquo;s manual.</p></div>

Q: Where is the chimney crown located?

• <div><p>Chimney crowns are located above the final brick layer at the top of a chimney. It&rsquo;s important to get regular chimney maintenance and inspection, because it is near impossible to spot chimney crown damage without getting on your roof. </p></div>

Q: What is the easiest fireplace to build?

• <div><p>The easiest fireplace to build is an electric fireplace. These aren&rsquo;t true fireplaces but can mimic the look of a traditional fireplace. True fireplaces, made of brick and stone, are complex and require professional installation; adding them to an existing home is demanding and expensive. You could spend <b>$30,000 </b>to have a real fireplace installed.</p></div>

Q: Can you burn wood that has oak wilt?

• <div><p>You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won&rsquo;t threaten <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-healthy-tree.htm">healthy trees</a>. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season&mdash;do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.</p></div>
