Q: How do you know if a chimney needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>Visible signs that call for repair include cracks in the structure, the bricks, or mortar as well as loose bricks, flaky mortar, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/chimney-leaking-inside-house.htm">chimney leaks</a>. Some less obvious signs are dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence, a white substance that can look like a pale stain on the bricks. All of these indicate water damage, which can be devastating to a chimney&rsquo;s safety. </p></div>

Q: Are gas fireplaces more environmentally friendly than wood fireplaces?

• <div><p>In short, yes, gas fireplaces create fewer pollutants and are considered more environmentally friendly than traditional ones. In general, natural gas fireplaces release only half to two-thirds as much CO2 per unit of heat (BTU) as burning wood. Plus, gas fireplaces emit fewer harmful particles and air pollutants. They can also be about three times as efficient as wood in terms of heating your home, resulting in a much higher level of their energy converting into heat.</p></div>

Q: Is a fireplace flue and damper the same thing?

• <div><p>No&mdash;though they are related. A flue is a pipe that runs the length of your chimney and carries smoke outside when a fire is burning. The damper is a metal plate that helps control airflow to the firebox, depending on whether it&rsquo;s open or closed.</p></div>

Q: What does hearth look like?

• <div><p>A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.</p></div>

Q: Is a wood stove or fireplace better for heating?

• <div><p>Both wood stoves and fireplaces are effective at heating, but wood stoves are more efficient, meaning more of the fuel is converted to heat rather than lost. Wood stoves, depending on the capacity, can also heat larger spaces, while fireplaces are better for heating smaller areas, like an individual room.</p></div>
