Great service. Took the time to explain what was going on with my furnace, and didn’t make me feel stupid. Was genuinely concerned about my wellbeing, strongly encouraging me to get carbon monoxide detectors—which I’m having installed right now. I will definitely use this company again.

The service was amazing. Everything was great. There were no surprises in cost and build-out. The communication was great. The installation was on time despite digging and beginning the build in December. I have no complaints. I am glad I invested in my health and happiness.

Mike installed 2 ceiling fans in our home, he did a great job and cut clean holes for wiring. He was able to install the fan with the existing ceiling medallion to match with the character of our home! Now we have better airflow and it’s cooler in those rooms already!

The crew cleaned up well after themselves, and the best part was my installation date was moved up ~5 weeks from the initial estimate due to some found time on the schedule. I'll be recommending these guys moving forward

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

You should change the batteries in your smoke detectors at least once per year. Mark it on your calendar or make it a holiday or birthday tradition so that you always remember it. You should also be testing your smoke alarms monthly to ensure they’re working properly and can alert you in case of an emergency.

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.

Fire sprinkler systems give your home’s value a boost. Potential home buyers are looking for a safe place to settle, and a well-maintained sprinkler system can provide peace of mind. Plus, some homeowners insurance policies offer discounted rates for homes with this type of built-in system, thanks to the decreased risk of fire.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.

There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:

Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney
Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance
Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox
Water stains in or around the fireplace
A broken or stuck damper
