"It is rare to find such quality, service, value and expertise. We bought our Enviro G39 gas fireplace after visiting the showroom a couple of times. We wanted a fireplace but didn't want the expense of masonry. However - gas fireplaces scared us! Dylan gave us all the information we needed (and more) to get comfortable. Since we had a contractor already remodeling our house - they installed the unit. However, we were still nervous and wanted the experts to review the install - just to be safe. Paul came out, reviewed the install, gave us a tutorial, answered 1,001 concerns until we felt safe and secure with our newly installed fireplace. They never rushed us, never made us feel stupid for asking so many questions, never failed to be friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and patient. Our investment was worth every penny. I would recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone. Thanks to a great father and son team!!"

"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!"

"Rich was very professional as was his work crew. They came over to give us an estimate of the work needed to seal outside chimney for a fireplace no longer in use. They then scheduled an appt for us, arrived on time, and did the work. We were very pleased with their honesty, professionalism and have recommended Safeside Chimney to our friends and family."

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

You can close up a chimney instead of demolishing it. Homeowners often go this route because the cost of removing a chimney, especially a structurally important chimney, can be expensive.

Properly closing up a chimney involves closing and sealing the damper, installing a chimney cap damper, and sealing the fireplace opening with a door or bricks. The cost to seal and cap a chimney is around $500 to $650—significantly less than the average chimney removal cost.

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

  • Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris

  • Help prevent chimney fires

  • Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture

  • Maintain your chimney flue liner

  • Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature

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.

Hardwoods such as oak, maple, and hickory are the best types of wood to burn in a wood stove. These woods burn hotter and longer than softwoods, producing less creosote and fewer emissions. Hardwoods provide a more efficient and cleaner burn, which helps maintain better air quality and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance required for your stove.

The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.
