"He got back to me in about an hour and a half, said he could come out about 930 that morning. He was running a little bit late, but he did send a message telling me his arrival time, which I greatly appreciated. It was nothing major and he told me what to look for in the future, and how to take care of myself. Even took a look at my blower amperage and the furnace amperage to make sure they are doing OK. We would definitely hire him again."

We are family owned and operated. We service all brands, makes and models. From furnace and water heater repair and replacements, all the way to a leaking kitchen faucet or bathroom toilet. One call REALLY does it all. Faucets, toilets, sinks, drain rodding, water heaters, boilers, furnaces, air conditioners and humidifiers. New construction to radiant heat. You know you called the pros the first time. Licensed, bonded and insured, we offer easy approval and affordable financing as well!

"I’m extremely satisfied with Regional. We had three sump pumps that needed to be replaced (primary, secondary, and water powered backup). The quote was very reasonable, and they were able to do the work shortly after their initial visit. They replaced everything with Liberty pumps. Justin and Erich did the work and they were very professional. We had them quote out a couple of other items (replacing water heater, etc) and those quotes were also very reasonable. I will definitely hire them for future jobs."

"I had to replace my old boiler heat as it was not repairable. So I purchased a NEW wall-mounted, modulating gas, condensing, combination Boiler. It replaces BOTH my boiler heater & Hot water tank. The new unit is attached up on wall with a small tank, gas, water lines below. The 2nd pic is where old hot water heater used to sit. Now I have all that extra storage space!! And no need for upkeep & repairs on a big old hot water heater!! The only thing I can complain about was that they were here for 12 hrs!! start to finish. Plus I was here sitting practically on top of a space heater dressed very warmly all day. And of course this was in January 2025 in northwest Indiana. I think this was a 1st time install for them in an older home not a new build. I would have rated them as a 5 star if not for the LONG DAY it took to be installed. They all were very nice, kind & cleaned up their mess. They brought large painter cloths to put down on floors due to going in out in the snow also."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that chimneys and their associated elements like fireplaces, vents, or stoves should be cleaned at least once a year before the start of seasonal use. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a chimney should be cleaned when there is 1/8 inch of soot buildup. If there’s more than that, creosote—a flammable byproduct of burning wood—can form and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:

  • Your fireplace pilot light won’t stay on.

  • You notice the smell of rotten eggs.

  • You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.

  • You notice a soot build-up.

  • The fire goes out unexpectedly.

If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a gas leak, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.

A chimney liner is a good thing to invest in regardless of if you have issues or not. Chimney liners increase the safety of your fireplace. Without a chimney liner, the gasses that get emitted during burning could eventually damage the masonry and create a major fire hazard in your home.  

Home insurance prices depend on where you live and the individual insurance company's policies. Some insurers charge a flat fee for fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, which is often a few hundred dollars per year. Other insurers base this fee on a percentage of your annual premium. You may want to check your current or prospective policy before beginning this project.

Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. 

Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.
