"American Professional Chimney installed a gas fireplace that is both beautiful (looks like a real wood fireplace) and warm. They installed a gasline that was done a very professional way, burying the line underground. Stephen and his team did an impeccable job, clearly explaining the pros and cons of the many options. Super happy with the service."

"We hired the experts at Chimney.com to tear out the old fireplace and put in a new, smaller, and more modern unit. The tear-down only took a half-day, and the new install took one day. We also had them install a mantle and surround for it. We're very pleased with the new look! If you need fireplace work done, go with the experts at Chimney.com to make sure the job is done right!"

Customers say: True professional

"Everything went very well.  Fortunately I had not attempted to use my fireplace before getting it checked and cleaned.  There were several problems that the previous owner had neglected to repair.  Now everything works well, and the fireplace looks much better!  I am enjoying the benefits of having a safe wood-burning fireplace in my family room.

"Needed to get my gas fireplace inspected quickly as I am selling my condo. I contacted Finest Chimney in the morning and they sent someone out right away. I was very happy that came out so quick and extremely happy with the service. The technician cleaned my gas fireplace and was able to get the fireplace started and working after not working for almost 10 years."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. 

Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.

An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

A chimney liner is a good thing to invest in regardless of if you have issues or not. Chimney liners increase the safety of your fireplace. Without a chimney liner, the gasses that get emitted during burning could eventually damage the masonry and create a major fire hazard in your home.
