"Mirna scheduled our work to fit into this busy season and was responsive to our schedule. When she was able to move our date up, she called and then kept us informed as to when the workers would arrive. Ralph and Arturro were prompt and professional (and personable) and did a great job of cleaning our fireplace insert and our Jotul wood stove.They did quality work and were conscious to minimize the impact of their work on our house. I recommend this company without reservation."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Soapstone wood stoves hold onto heat the longest, which means you can burn less fuel and enjoy the warmth for longer. Additionally, catalytic wood stoves include a catalytic combustor that can reduce emissions and create a cleaner burn no matter what the stove is made of. Of course, the most efficient wood stoves also tend to be costlier up front—but they can still save you money in the long run.

There are several maintenance tips you should take to ensure your pellet stove's safety and proper maintenance. You should vacuum the ash pan every week to prevent overflowing and clean the stove and surrounding vents every three to four months. It’s also important to get a professional inspection every year and install a carbon monoxide detector close to your stove. Be sure to dispose of hot ashes in a closed metal container; store it outside, away from the house. Only use the pellets recommended by your stove's manufacturer, and follow any cleaning and maintenance instructions.

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.

An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.

No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces require maintenance, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.
