"Very honest and reliable. Was under the impression because of a home inspection that a home that I had sold had issues with the damper on one of the fireplaces. Was very pleased with Tim at 123 Chimney sweep. He could have taken advantage of me since I believed the home inspector. He showed me that both dampers were fine. and he even took videos. The home inspector was incorrect. I then had him clean both fireplaces Any mess was then cleaned up by Tim. I highly recommended 123 Chimney Sweeps"

"Great. After seeing how the front porch turned out I decided to have Irving and Randy refurbish the storage/tool building. Ran into issues with the building (old termite damage) however it was repaired and better than new now. It’s no longer a work shed but livable space now. Definitely made the right hire with On The Level. Thanks again!"

"They contacted me right away. Said that they were licensed and certified and that the drivers would have copies of these certificates. They did not have the certificates on them. So I am not sure if they are licensed and certified. They said they could take care of any problem that they found at this appointment. Our fireplace was full of wasp and they were telling us stories of other jobs that had a bunch of wasp, but they did not have any wasp spray. They had to use the 2 cans that I had. When cleaning out the fireplace, they did not even have a bucket to put the ashes in. We needed a new cleanout door, but they did not have any. They did not even clean out the ash from this area. They could not show us any photos or videos of the before or after cleaning"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

While you have some flexibility in the types of wood you can use in your outdoor furnace, it's important to make wise choices for optimal performance and efficiency. Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, and cherry, are generally recommended for their higher energy content and cleaner burn. These hardwoods produce more heat per volume and tend to produce fewer creosote deposits, which can accumulate and cause a chimney fire, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A chimney cap typically lasts between three and 25 years. This wide range is due to several variables, including the material it's made from, the local climate, and how frequently you use your fireplace. Living in an area with severe weather can shorten its lifespan. Regular inspections, maintenance, and minor repairs as needed can help your chimney cap last as long as possible.

For fireplaces that need ventilation, a pipe system can do the trick and send dangerous byproducts out of your house. The actual pipe installation will depend on the type of fireplace because pipe systems are unique to specific fireplace types. For example, the twin wall pipe for a balanced flue fireplace can only be used for that type of fireplace.

The average life span of a thermoelectric fan operating seasonally is two to three years. However, the life span of a wood stove fan depends on its quality, usage, and maintenance. Regular cleaning of the blades and ensuring the fan operates within its recommended temperature range can help prolong its life span.

Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold.
