"It's a pretty decent system, I think. They send you the pieces and you install them yourself, which is pretty easy. The only real problem I have is that one sensor is too far away from the panel...or there's some interference, and they haven't been able to fix that. It's an interior door, so it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. Their customer service is pretty good though. Nice, smart customer service people on the other end, very polite and helpful."

"Though the clean/inspection rate was a little high, by the time they came out and inspected my chimney (bought house in 2017), I understood why. They have excellent knowledge/equipment that lets the customer know exactly what is in need of repair/replacements to the fireplace and chimney. They use a camera line, much like plumbers use for sewer line inspections, in which everything can be seen (& explained) during the inspection. They also print out photos and short explanations under the photos as part of their inspection report, much like a home inspection report is done when considering a purchase of a home. The lead tech & assistant both were knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and thorough, leaving the home clean. All questions were answered to my satisfaction. Excellent service."

"Everything worked out great for the basement. Melissa responded quickly to our texts and answered all of our questions. Dale came, we got an estimate the next day and a few days later he came out to do the repairs. The cracks in the cellar were repaired properly, no water is getting into the basement when it rains, and it no longer smells like mold! We are really happy with the work! When Dale finished with the basement I had him look at the bathroom reguarding some mold issues. We contacted Melissa the next day to make sure the bathroom mold issue was communicated with her and to let her know we wanted an estimate on the repairs. She told us she would contact us in a few hours. Never heard back from her. A little over two weeks later we sent another text message asking about the estimate. It's been about three days since then and still no response."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The time required for a chimney inspection depends on the inspection level. A Level 1 inspection typically takes between 45 minutes and two hours, with an average of about an hour and a half. A Level 2 inspection usually takes less than two hours. A more in-depth Level 3 inspection can take up to five hours, or even multiple days if it requires removing materials. The total duration also depends on the chimney's size, condition, and how long it has been since its last inspection; chimneys with severe damage will require a longer inspection.

You don’t need electricity for a wood-burning stove unless it has a blower fan. Some wood-burning stoves include blower fans to help with heat distribution, but blower fans have a motor and use electricity to power the fan. You can still operate a wood stove without using the blower fan, so it’s a good source of heat if you have a power outage or are looking to lower your electric bill during winter.

You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.

Running a gas fireplace costs approximately $0.35 per hour for natural gas and $0.62 per hour for propane, though these figures can vary significantly based on fuel prices in your area. On average, the annual cost to run a gas fireplace is between $400 and $640. The exact impact on your utility bill depends on several factors, including how often you use it, the size of the room you're heating, and the fireplace's BTU rating. Some models with a constantly running pilot light will consume a minimal amount of energy even when off, although many modern fireplaces do not require one. If you are looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider an electric fireplace.

Fireplace inserts have several potential disadvantages. The cost of the insert and its installation can be a significant investment, as the process can be complicated and expensive, particularly if modifications to the existing fireplace are necessary. Aesthetically, some people find that inserts lack the traditional look and authentic ambiance of an open, crackling fire. There are also ongoing costs for maintenance, cleaning, and fuel. Fuel type can be a limitation; for example, an insert may be unusable if you don't have access to its specific fuel source. Maintenance and repairs can also require specialized services, especially for gas or electric models. Finally, while an insert is more efficient than an open fireplace, it may not heat a home as evenly as a central HVAC system.
