In homes that have a gas furnace, it's typically the heating system that uses the most gas. That explains why your gas bill is almost always higher in the winter and other colder months than it is in the summer. Other appliances that may use gas include your water heater, clothes dryer, and stove.

You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.

Signs that your chimney may need to be replaced include visible damage like cracks in the structure, bricks, or mortar, as well as crumbling or flaking mortar and loose bricks. Leaks, dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence (a white, stain-like substance on the bricks) are also key indicators of water damage, which can compromise the chimney's safety. Addressing these problems is essential, as a chimney in this condition may be at risk of collapsing and causing major damage to your home. A full replacement costs about $10,000 on average, but can range from $3,100 to $15,400.
