Q: How much does it cost to build a patio with a fire pit?

• <div><p>To build a patio with a built-in fire pit, expect to pay an average of <b>$6,750</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">cost to build a patio</a> alone is an average of <b>$3,500</b>. Although the cost of construction is higher, the patio and fire pit combination offers a better resale value than a patio alone or a patio with a fire pit add-on.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean brick?

• <div><p>For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.</p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces burn a lot of gas?

• <div><p>Modern gas fireplaces are relatively efficient and don't burn excessive amounts of gas, especially compared to older models. A gas fireplace might use between 10,000 to 40,000 BTUs per hour; the total amount of gas used depends on the fireplace's size, heat output, and how often it's in use. To help keep your running costs down, consider using a thermostat and turning off the fireplace when not needed to minimize gas consumption</p></div>

Q: What type of fireplace insert is most efficient?

• <div><p>Gas fireplace inserts are considered the most efficient because they convert more of the fuel source&mdash;gas&mdash;into heat. They offer excellent heat output per the amount of fuel they use. While electric fireplace inserts are praised for their efficiency, keep in mind that they don&rsquo;t offer as strong a heat output but may still be a great choice if you want an efficient option. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my chimney or fireplace?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.</p></div>
