Best fireplace pros near Sumterville, FL

Q: What type of wood is best to burn in a wood stove?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can a hot fire burn off or remove creosote?

• <div><p>While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.</p></div>

Q: How long will a 40-lb bag of pellets burn?

• <div><p>A 40-pound bag of wood pellets can provide a solid 24 hours or so of burn time, though the exact length may vary. If you&rsquo;re using your pellet stove as an exclusive heat source during the winter, you&rsquo;ll need an estimated 100 to 150 of those 40-pound bags, depending on how hot you like to keep your home, its size, the climate, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: Do fireplace repair companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Certain fireplace repairs will require that your contractor is licensed, including anything that involves moving, installing, or repairing gas lines. In that case, your professional will need to be a certified plumber. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">licensing lookup tool</a> to confirm that the company you&rsquo;re hiring is properly licensed. Most states don&rsquo;t have specific license requirements for other fireplace repairs, but most demand at least a general contractor&rsquo;s license. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to look for companies certified by the National Fireplace Institute, as those pros tend to be more qualified to carry out the repair.</p></div>

Q: What is considered the hearth of a fireplace?

• <div><p>A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they&rsquo;ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they&rsquo;ll simply go out.</p></div>
