Q: Can you remove a fireplace yourself?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-we-tear-down-fireplace-inside-house-without-having-remove-chimney-roof.htm">remove a fireplace yourself</a>. Before beginning this job, you&rsquo;d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you&rsquo;d need help from a structural engineer. Plus, fireplace removals require permits and often involve working with gas lines or electricity, which can be dangerous. For all of these reasons, it&rsquo;s best to hire a pro for this project.</p></div>

Q: Do you need electricity for a wood-burning stove?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need electricity for a wood-burning stove unless it has a blower fan. Some wood-burning stoves include blower fans to help with heat distribution, but blower fans have a motor and use electricity to power the fan. You can still operate a wood stove without using the blower fan, so it&rsquo;s a good source of heat if you have a power outage or are looking to lower your electric bill during winter.</p></div>

Q: How do I know what type of fireplace I currently have?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it&rsquo;s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: How do I reset my electric fireplace?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't clean your chimney?

• <div><p>Neglecting to clean your chimney can lead to serious safety hazards. A primary risk is the buildup of creosote, a highly flammable substance that can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire. This buildup can also create blockages in the flue, resulting in poor venting of smoke, soot, and toxic gases like carbon monoxide, which can then enter your home and create dangerously poor indoor air quality. Additionally, creosote is acidic and can damage the chimney's mortar and metal components over time, potentially allowing smoke to leak into your house. To prevent these issues, it is essential to schedule an annual chimney cleaning with a professional.</p></div>

Tyler and his crew did a great job ripping up old ceramic floor and installing a new one in the kitchen, hallway, bathroom, and around the fireplace. The end result looks great. The job took longer than what could be expected, but otherwise everything worked out very well for us.
