"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

Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.

While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.

There are six main choices of fireplace inserts: wood-burning, gas, propane, pellet, electric, and coal. Coal fireplace inserts aren’t as popular as they once were because burning coal emits a lot of carbon monoxide. Any fireplace insert will require proper supervision, and it’s a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room for added safety.

Pellet stoves are designed to run for several hours at a time. Running them for an entire day is not uncommon. More advanced models can run continuously for up to 48 hours, making them ideal if you live in extremely cold conditions and don't want to keep refueling the stove.

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. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
