Wood Stove Companies questions, answered by experts

Regular fireplace servicing is vital for safety and efficiency. You must inspect and clean wood-burning fireplaces annually to remove creosote buildup and address potential issues. Gas fireplaces benefit from annual inspections to ensure proper functioning and safety. More frequent servicing may be necessary if you use your fireplace extensively or live in an area with harsh winters. Always consult a local professional to establish a suitable servicing schedule for your fireplace.

Labor and regional factors contribute to cost variation, but typical rates for thorough cleaning range from $100 to $250, depending on the chimney type.

If your inspector is doing a Level 1 inspection of the chimney, expect it to take roughly an hour. A pro usually can do a Level 2 inspection in less than two hours. However, if you need a Level 3 inspection, this could take multiple days to complete because of the potential for needing to remove materials.

Gas fireplaces offer efficient heating, low maintenance, and easy ignition with remote control options.

Avoid using abrasive cleansing powders on natural stone, as these products could damage the porous material. Using bleach is also a poor idea because of the porosity of the stone. Avoid using a scrub brush with metal bristles, as they could scratch the stone. If you know who manufactured your stone or who installed the fireplace, you may want to contact that entity for any advice on cleaning it safely.
