Answering service picked up and said that someone would call back. Ricardo called back in 10-15 minutes and said he would drop by in under an hour and have a look. He actually arrived in just 30 minutes and went up the attic to look at the furnace. He then described the problem and gave me options on repairing it /replacing it. Once we decided to replace it he set up an appointment for the next day. They, 3 technicians, arrived on monday morning at 8:30AM, and finished the job in about 3 hours. They started by protecting the floors from dust and shoes and proceeded to replace the heater. The job was done professionally with care. They also replaced the thermostat with one I had bought. They asked me to inspect work and made sure that I was satisfied. They cleaned up thoroughly behind them and left no dust/garbage on the floors. The area where they installed the furnace was cleaner then when they started on. Ricardo himself was present while heater was being installed and checked up on it and tested it before leaving. Overall they did a great job at bringing the heat back on as quickly as possible.

In between was a bit of a bother. John came to our house just a few days after we called him, and arrived a few minutes early. He cleaned the flues ($150 each) and then cleaned up the crud that fell into the fireplaces. But after he left, we operated the dampers and a lot more crud fell out, especially from one of them, requiring us to clean up again. As others have stated, John likes to talk a lot and tends to walk around the house, visiting rooms that are not en route to a chimney he is cleaning. We kept some doors closed, and that helped. But in truth, we found his stories entertaining and educational, and didn't mind much at all. While he was working, John patiently answered our questions and gave us some promising suggestions. He sold us a heat reflector shield ($275) for a fireplace that had charred bricks on the rear wall and wasn't heating the room. He had one the right size in his truck and installed it. We haven't made a fire yet this season, so I don't know how much help the shield will be. John also measured for two screen-type chimney caps to help keep out leaves and varmints. We paid him a $65 deposit on this $140 purchase (two caps). He said they would be ready in 1-2 weeks. After 10 days, we started phoning him. He returned some of our calls and kept promising to install them \"this week,\" \"the day after tomorrow\" or even \"tomorrow\". But he didn't show up until November 13. The installation was difficult because of the shape of our chimney, but he got both installed in 10 or 15 minutes. He apologized for the four-week delay and refused payment for the balance we owed him. I said I would use this company again. But if I bought any products, I would be wary of paying a deposit and I'd get John to commit in writing to an installation deadline. After a flue cleaning, and before John left the premises, I would test the dampers to be sure there was no lingering crud. But maybe these policies would be wise to apply to any maintenance professional."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/menlo-park/chimney-cricket-reviews-429766.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"RAYMOND LUCAS PLUMBING & HEATING INC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"LYNNE V."},"reviewBody":"THIS COMPANY IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

"I had a service technician come out to diagnose my refrigerator 3 weeks ago. The part needed to be ordered, and after paying for the part, I scheduled the repair for 7 days after the initial diagnosis. The repairman did not show during the scheduled time, and I was called the next day to reschedule. I scheduled it for 8 days after that. The day before my second appointment, I was called, and asked to reschedule again. I requested to speak with a manager regarding the multiple reschedules. I was told I would hear back from one. The next appointment was scheduled for 7 days later. I called 5 days later as I had not heard from a manager. I was told I would be called back. On the day of the next appointment I was called and told that they would need to reschedule again. I have still not heard from a manager."

"Juan did a complete remodel of one of our baths. It was a half bath and now we added a shower. He was professional, on time, and kept us up to date on the progress. He communicated clearly and if there were any changes along the way he made sure we were aware of what needed to be done and why. He did an excellent job and turned a dull old bath into a sleek/modern luxury bath. The space was small so he helped me realize my vision of what I wanted the bathroom to be. It is now my favorite bathroom in the house. I highly recommend Juan! I will definitely be working with him in future home projects. Thank you!"

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.
