"They were very professional. They nicely ran the new duct work and cleaned up after themselves. The furnace room looked nicer than when they walked in. They explained why the air conditioner went out due to the relay it was running on not being correct. They were quick and efficient on the job!"
"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 was really pleased with them. Insurance covered it. The price was very reasonable. They were wonderful. Rick was really personable and he really watched his crew. He made sure that everything was what I expected. I did need to have some follow up work done on the chimney and he did that and also did some insulation. Every time I called him, he answered immediately. The price was comparable to another estimate I got. I got more for my money from him. The roof looks good and it appears to be quality work. He and his crew were here when they said. He came over a couple of times to check. He was very professional. I would use him again and I would recommend him."
"I was surprised that they worked on July 4th, on a holiday. They were there three days in a row and they did a fine job. They were very meticulous as far as cleaning up afterwards, they didn’t anything back. It just came out real neat. It was extremely hot, probably about 100 degrees."
A liter of bioethanol costs $11 and burns for around four hours, making it cost around $2.75 per hour to keep your bioethanol fireplace running. For comparison, natural gas costs around $0.50 per hour, and propane costs around $1.60 per hour.
How much it costs you to run your bioethanol fireplace largely depends on how often you use it. Hypothetically speaking, if you run your fireplace for four hours a week year-round, you’ll go through one liter of biofuel per week or about $570 per year to run the fireplace.
There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:
See or smell smoke in your home during use.
You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.
The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.
The igniter won’t light.
You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.
Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.
You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.
If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.
The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.
No, there are no ventless pellet stoves. Because pellet stoves burn wood pellets, they produce wood smoke—which contains carbon monoxide. This harmful substance needs to be vented out of your living area. That said, there are vent-free and ventless fireplaces that run on natural gas and propane. These offer the heating and ambiance of a fireplace without the need to vent thick and hazardous wood smoke.
Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.
