Q: How thick should a chimney crown be?

• <div><p>Chimney crowns should be at least 2 inches thick at their thinnest point. If the crown is thinner than 2 inches, it&rsquo;s more likely to be damaged and allow water to seep into the chimney.</p></div>

Q: Will having a pellet stove raise my insurance rates?

• <div><p>Having a pellet stove can indeed raise your insurance rates since they're a relatively common cause of fires in the home. However, rate increases vary by insurance provider so you should reach out to yours to determine exactly how much your rates might increase with a new pellet stove install.</p></div>

Q: Where is the best place to install a wood stove in a house?

• <div><p>The best location for a wood stove depends on your home's layout and venting options. For optimal heat distribution, a central location on the ground floor, such as the living room, is often recommended. If you have an existing, functional chimney, installing the stove there can simplify the venting process. Alternatively, placing the stove near an outside wall can make it easier to route a new chimney through the roof. For safety, ensure no combustible materials are near the stove. Building codes typically require 20 to 36 inches of clearance between the stove and any side walls.</p></div>

Q: Do electric fireplaces wear out?

• <div><p>Like any other household appliance, electric fireplaces can wear out after about 10 to 20 years. With more frequent use, the parts will wear out quicker, and you may get just 7 to 10 years out of a well-loved electric fireplace. Fortunately, electric fireplaces come with a lower upfront installation cost compared to alternatives like gas, so you can install a replacement for less. </p></div>

Q: Do installations include a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, masonry fireplaces require an adequately constructed chimney to vent smoke and gases.</p></div>

"Moreau Boas actually tore down my chimney from the roofline and up and did an outstanding job. Their quote was fair, their work was excellent, they finished the job on time and within budget, and they had a wonderful crew. One of the crew - Richard Gentry went out of his way to ensure the site was perfectly cleaned and spotless after the work was completed. I will gladly use them in the future for my roof and masonry needs."
