"We’re enjoying the heat and beauty of our new fireplace as I write this! Chimney Cricket supported us through a tough series of errors caused by manufacturer’s lack of support. Finally they were able to locate the errors and get our beautiful new fireplace up and running. My only word of warning to folks considering installation of a new fireplace: make sure the model you select has a track record of easy installation and servicing, and that the manufacturer is known for standing behind their products."

"Five star work from Shamrock C&C Inc.!! Super technician!! great price under $2700 and I had gotten a previous quote from another company for almost $12,000. The technician at Shamrock explained to me a lot of that work was unnecessary and so I went with confidence with Shamrock and had them do the job that day, as the technician said that there was an immediate safety concern."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace's lifespan varies significantly depending on its type, the quality of construction, the materials used, and how well it is maintained. On average, you can expect a fireplace to last between 10 and 30 years, with many homeowners experiencing major issues after about 20 years.

Here's a breakdown by type:

  • Gas Inserts: Typically last 10 to 25 years with proper maintenance.

  • Electric Fireplaces: Have a lifespan of up to 20 years.

  • Traditional Brick Fireplaces: Can last for centuries, but require ongoing maintenance and repairs, such as tuckpointing.

Deciding when to replace your fireplace depends on its condition and your preferences. Replacements may be necessary if your fireplace shows extensive damage, safety issues, or inefficiency. Signs include deteriorating masonry, cracked firebox panels, or a faulty chimney. Aesthetic reasons, such as outdated design, can also drive replacement. Wanting something more sustainable and energy-efficient is another good reason to replace your old fireplace.

Yes, there are regulations on using wood stoves, particularly concerning emissions and installation standards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets emission limits for wood stoves to ensure they burn cleaner and more efficiently. Additionally, local building codes may have specific requirements for installation and venting, so it's essential to check with local authorities before installing or upgrading your stove.

Yes, you can have a gas line professionally installed to convert your traditional fireplace to natural gas; just know it’ll be an extra cost to budget for. The cost to run a gas line where you don’t already have one is about $540, though most homeowners pay between $260 and $820. Your total could be significantly higher if you don’t already have a main gas line running to your home.

In general, it will take about 90 minutes to burn the creosote sweeping log by itself, allowing it to work its magic. This may be longer or shorter depending on the conditions of your chimney.
