"The two gentlemen who did the work were punctual, courteous, and friendly. They were very careful to protect the rest of my house from the mess when demolishing the old fireplace, and cleaned up after the job. They listened to me and took care when fitting the stones to get the look of my new fireplace just right. They charged exactly the amount of the estimate - they didn't try to make excuses for the job costing more. Finally, they followed up after the job to make sure I was happy with the work. Now I'm looking forward to winter to try out my new stone fireplace."
"We have Frontpoint at two houses. We had been looking for ways to cut our monthly expenses (Frontpoint is approx. $100 per month total), so I called them to find out what I could do. They informed me that I was under contract for another year, and that I cannot get out of the contract without an early termination fee that is equal to the cost of the service. I'm a little disappointed, because the upfront cost of the system was very expensive ($1,000+) for each house, so it seems odd that I would get sucked into this contract. Nevertheless, I forgot that I signed up for this with them. My calendar is marked for the day that my service ends, and I will be switching to a company that charges about half of what they do. They have OK customer service and are very responsive, but the wireless system had some issues with reception in my house due to a fireplace, and then they didn't want to work with me to get that resolved. They're OK, but I can't really recommend them."
"I must say owner was very much professional, polite, courtesy , customer service, and he was very detailed about what service I had wanted when I talk to him over the phone. When talking to him he asked me several question about my fireplace. I could only told him what I had know. I just bought this home. Upon arriving at my house he right off hand could have told me what kind of fireplace it was and the name. How he heard love that make and model knowing they don't make that one anymore. He let me know it was still in awesome condition knowing the year of the house. While cleaning the fireplace he was letting me know right off hand what he was doing step by step. He had a smile the whole entire time working and well polite and respectful. He asked coming into my home if he need to take off he shoes at the door , I told him he was fine. I had plastic down and he came with all of his supply and he also cover the floor with his stuff . During the time he was working I never smell no ashes or smoke. I will be calling him again He will be the one working on our fireplace for now on. I will be giving his number to all my family , friends, co workers who I know have a fireplace. Especially in my community. We have a lot of homes with fireplaces."
Yes, capped chimneys should still be vented. Failing to vent a chimney will result in condensation buildup inside the chimney, which commonly results in mold growth. If mold begins to grow in a chimney, it frequently goes undetected and spreads quickly through the home. Mold and moisture can damage the structural integrity of your home, and exposure to mold can cause discomfort and illness in residents.
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.
It’s possible to clean your chimney by accessing it from the opening above your fireplace, but be aware that this method is messier because you will be pulling loose buildup of soot, ash, and creosote into your fireplace instead of up, out, and onto the roof. While the bottom-up method can cause more of a mess, it’s a good option if you’re not comfortable getting on the roof.
The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.
Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.
The installation cost for a brick or stone gas fireplace typically ranges from $3,500 to $12,000. Key factors that influence the total expense include the type of material chosen, labor costs, the setup for the gas line, venting requirements, and any custom design elements.
