"One crew went on top of the chimney to inspect the fireplace while the second crew swept inside the fireplace pit (?). They found some cracks in the chimney, which they suggested to repair before using the fireplace for the potential fire hazard. They were courteous and professional. They gave us an estimate for the repair and would have cost 2k or more. Ultimately, we decided to wait on using our fireplace and get more estimates in the future."

"Dereck and his crew did an excellent job on our fireplace inspection, so we hired him for a repair of our chimney. He found a gas leak in our basement while he was cleaning the fireplace soot collector. They did everything they said for a reasonable price and showed us before and after photos to demonstrate their efficiency. We highly recommend them. It’s great when an organization is so reliable and competent!"

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

To burn garden waste, you can use a dug-out burn pit lined with stone or brick, a burn barrel, or a garden incinerator. If using a burn barrel, make sure it's made entirely of metal and properly equipped with screened vents and a metal top screen. Garden incinerators are designed for waste burning and should be operated according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In some aspects, yes, new wood stoves are better than old ones. For example, today’s EPA emission limits for wood-burning stoves are much lower than they were several decades ago. Stoves that meet these stricter standards produce less air pollution, reduce fire risks, and decrease your risk of inhaling harmful particles.

Pellet stoves are much more energy efficient than traditional fireplaces, and the pellets they burn create fewer emissions, leaving indoor and outdoor air cleaner. Plus, the biomass pellets are made from recycled materials, making them even more eco-friendly. You can also adjust the temperature of a pellet stove and go about most of your day without needing to tend to it.

To reset an electric fireplace, first shut the unit off using the control panel or remote control. Make sure the unit is entirely shut down, then unplug it from the power outlet. Wait five to 10 minutes, then plug the fireplace back in and turn it on. This process should reset the electric fireplace. After resetting, make sure to set the thermostat, timer, and other programmable settings to suit your preferences.

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.
