"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"As a fact all home owners know that Chimney sweeps or the chimney companies have the worst reputation of being crooks! No one is going to go up on to the roof to follow the Chimney guy to see what they are doing or if they are even telling you the truth about what's wrong with your chimney. Having said all that, I very highly recommend this company because from the time I made the appointment to the time the work was completed it was a wonderful experience. The cost was most reasonable and most of all very honest:) I say this because I had 7 estimates from different chimney companies for the same work and every one of them had a different price quote and one chimney guy actually went up to the chimney and started pealing the existing clay chimney liner and threw some down the chimney and some on to the lawn just to get a chimney liner work from me. Certified Chimney not only cleaned up the mess and blockage created by the other guy but did the job for less than what the other guy wanted. The work was clean perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better all around work that was done by Certified Chimney people the true professionals:) the work involved placing a double wall stainless steel chimney liner cutting open the wall in the house by the furnace resealing it as well as opening up the brick work on the outside wall of the chimney and finishing the brick and cement work outside. I thank them very much."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to clean your own chimney and fireplace with the appropriate brushes and safety gear, hiring a professional is often recommended. A professional ensures thorough creosote removal and compliance with safety standards. They can also safely access high or hidden areas that may be difficult for a homeowner to reach, providing comprehensive assurance that the job is completed correctly and safely.

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

The timeframe for a gas fireplace installation typically ranges from 1 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the project. A basic installation with gas line connections and venting may take 1-3 days, whereas a more involved project that includes framing and masonry work can take 3-7 days.

The cost to replace a chimney is about $10,000 on average and can cost up to $15,000, depending on the size, accessibility, materials, and extent of the replacement. Sometimes tearing the chimney down to the roof line and rebuilding it is an option. But if the chimney's internal structure deteriorates badly enough, a complete demolition down to the fireplace or the foundation may be necessary.

The best time to clean your chimney is before you need to use it, which for most people is during the spring, summer, or early fall. Spring and summer are often ideal because the chimney is not in use, and chimney sweeps can access the roof more easily without snow and ice. The warmer months are also better for making any necessary repairs. To avoid the rush when chimney sweeps get booked up in early spring and late fall, scheduling your cleaning for the summer can be a safe bet. It's recommended to book your annual chimney sweep during these warmer months to maintain a yearly schedule.
