"Worst service I’ve ever have experienced. They wanted to sell me the product, never told me that there was an early termination fee and another penalty for an initial offer they gave me. Had double charges every month, once for the oil they provided (which they never told me they were going to provide before coming. They just came without my knowledge and then I find a high amount bill) and another for an “automatic payment” for 500 that they never could explain. The didn’t even fix this issue and it kept happening every month even after I cancelled the service. Then having to call them is a hastié for the refund of the 500. Stay away of this company"

"My elderly mother's dishwasher needed repair. I contacted Tecnicos on a Sunday afternoon. Roger had an available slot on Monday afternoon. He had the necessary parts in stock, and fixed the dishwasher. His price was better than reasonable. His communication about when he would arrive was highly responsible. I could not recommend him more highly."

"Brad inspected our home. Some minor issues were documented, along with some recommendations for replacement items in the future. The roof was failing, 1500 square feet of our 2000 sqft roof had to have its plywood replaced before re-shingling. It was wet and disintegrating. Disintegration was clearly visible from the attic hatchway. He did not even go on the roof to inspect it. If he had done so, he would have felt the softness in the plywood. We were one major winter storm away from a disaster. Under no circumstances would I ever hire them again."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Common causes for a chimney crack are poor construction and improper sealing. As a chimney heats and cools, expansion and contraction can cause cracks to form. If a chimney isn't sealed, moisture can enter pores in the masonry and cause problems. A chimney without a proper foundation can start to lean, which may also result in cracks.

The cost to rebuild a fireplace varies dramatically depending on what you want to do and the type of fireplace you are rebuilding. A simple electric fireplace can be replaced with ease and at a low cost. On the other end of the spectrum, a wood-burning fireplace could cost well into the tens of thousands. The good news is functioning fireplaces increase your home’s value and are generally a good investment.

Installing a fireplace insert can be complicated and expensive, particularly if modifications are necessary to accommodate it. The cost of purchasing an insert and necessary venting system can also be a significant investment. Fuel type may also be limited with gas or electric inserts, potentially reducing the cozy appeal of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Maintenance and repair may require specialized services, especially when dealing with gas lines or electrical components. Some argue that fireplace inserts lack the authentic ambiance of an open, crackling fire, with glass doors potentially reducing the visual appeal of the flames.

Clean the stove, chimney, or vent regularly, and schedule annual professional inspections to ensure safety.

Yes, there are regulations on using wood stoves, particularly concerning emissions and installation standards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets emission limits for wood stoves to ensure they burn cleaner and more efficiently. Additionally, local building codes may have specific requirements for installation and venting, so it's essential to check with local authorities before installing or upgrading your stove.
