Q: Can I use water to put out a fire in my fireplace?

• <div><p>You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher&mdash;and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my chimney is safe?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:</p><ul><li><p>Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney</p></li><li><p>Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance</p></li><li><p>Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox</p></li><li><p>Water stains in or around the fireplace</p></li><li><p>A broken or stuck damper</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do they make ventless pellet stoves?

• <div><p>No, there are no ventless pellet stoves. Because pellet stoves burn wood pellets, they produce wood smoke&mdash;which contains carbon monoxide. This harmful substance needs to be vented out of your living area. That said, there are vent-free and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-ventless-gas-fireplaces.htm">ventless fireplaces</a> that run on natural gas and propane. These offer the heating and ambiance of a fireplace without the need to vent thick and hazardous wood smoke.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to put in a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be worth installing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gas-fireplace-guide.htm">gas fireplace</a>, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.</p></div>

Q: How long does fireplace installation take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 5-10 days, including foundation work, masonry, and finishing.</p></div>
