"Chimney.com did an excellent job installing our new gas fireplace. Brandon and Marlon communicated clearly with us regarding our specific fireplace needs, project updates, delivery time estimates, etc. Russ did a meticulous job with installation and ensured that he completed the job and that everything was working properly before leaving our house. Tiffany was super helpful during the installation process and with additional follow-up later on. I recommend chimney.com to anyone who has fire place projects."

"American Professional Chimney installed a gas fireplace that is both beautiful (looks like a real wood fireplace) and warm. They installed a gasline that was done a very professional way, burying the line underground. Stephen and his team did an impeccable job, clearly explaining the pros and cons of the many options. Super happy with the service."

"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"We are planning to install vent-free gas logs in our two wood burning fireplaces so we could have heat during power outages and for the warmth and ambiance.  I called three of the fireplace installers from Angie's List based on customer reviews for estimates.  Two of the fireplace companies suggested that I have both chimneys cleaned and inspected before doing the gas log installation.  Even though the gas logs are natural gas and vent-free and would not need the damper to be opened so do not need a working chimney for the gas logs, we had never had the chimneys inspected or cleaned since we moved in 6 years ago.  So we thought that was a good idea to get it done once and then we don't have to have it done again unless there is a problem. 
Steve the Fire Place Guy suggested that I call MCP Chimney & Masonry.  He said that he had worked with them before and they are very good.  I looked on Angie's List to see the reviews and there were only 4 reviews with an average of B overall rating.  I was a little skeptical but Steve told me that they would be up front with me and would not try to sell something I do not need so I scheduled an appointment.
Tammy is really very friendly and helpful.  She told me that an inspection and cleaning is $159 per chimney.  I had seen somewhere else where it costs between $99-$229 but I think the $99 is for either the inspection or cleaning but not for both and the high end prices included other cleaning such as dryer vent.  Anyway, I went ahead and scheduled the inspection and cleaning with Tammy.
Brandon and Jose arrived within the scheduled time window.  They put the tarp down on my beige carpet and began to clean each chimney from the bottom to top method from inside the house.  After they were done, there was not a bit of dust or soot from the chimney.  Brandon had vacuum all that into his vacuum inside the fireplace before it could get out into the room.  My fireplace, mantel, and beige carpet were still clean.
Then they went on the roof to do the inspection.  Brandon came down with pictures of the crowns that he took with his phone and he also brought down a few pieces of the concrete crown from one of the chimneys.  He said that one of the chimney looked like it was the original crown when the house was built 29 years ago and never been replaced or repaired.   The concrete was separating from the crown and loosely sitting or dangling from the edge and he was able to bring a few pieces down to show me.  The other crown looked like it was repaired previously but not done very well or professionally,  Someone that the previous owner has hired used concrete fillers in the cracks of the crown and now has more cracks and some separation.  Brandon recommends that I get the repair done especially since our chimneys showed no signs of internal water damage.  If there were water damage, it could damage the liner or weaken the integrity of the bricks in the chimney and if left it is not repaired overtime the chimney may need to be replaced which could run about $6,000 or higher.
Brandon recommended that we repair both crowns with the poxy compound which has a 20 year warranty.  It is put on over the concrete creating a cover.  I had seen this done with our neighbor's crown so I had an idea of what he is talking about.  He said to use concrete to repair the crown will only have a 2 year warranty so of course I went with the compound.  The cost for the repair was $600 for both crowns but Brandon gave me a 15% discount making the repair cost $520 and the total for cleaning, inspecting and repairs to $838.  I guess I am happy with that since I have no idea what the average costs would be.
So I scheduled the repair with Tammy for the following week.  They came out and did the job and as far as I know everything seems fine (it is not like I am going to climb on a ladder on the roof to check).    So far so good and I am happy with the staff and work.  Usually, since I am the one in the household that calls for repairs or maintenance I would be the one companies would be talking with.  Some male representatives have a tendency to think since I am a female I may not understand or need to know how or what the job entails so they do not bother to fully explain things to me or ask to speak with my husband.  Good luck with that, my husband do not want to be bother and he would say talk with my wife.  So if you do not want to talk with me...Good bye, you are not getting the job.  Brandon was completely opposite and took the time to explain all the aspect of the job and why.  He was absolutely wonderful and so was Tammy in the office.  I would definitely call them again and since they do masonry work, I may have projects for them in the future.  So as long as this repair job continues to be problem free, I would definitely recommend them and I would ask for Brandon Morris."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on appliance age, issue complexity, part availability, and labor rates.

Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That’s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.

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.

In general, it will take about 90 minutes to burn the creosote sweeping log by itself, allowing it to work its magic. This may be longer or shorter depending on the conditions of your chimney.

Fireplaces can theoretically help you save on heating bills if you lower the temperature throughout the rest of your home and heat only a single room that you occupy using the fireplace. However, in most cases, homeowners won’t save any money on heating bills. Gas and electric fireplace inserts could actually lead to a spike in your respective energy bills if you use them frequently, and if you don’t keep up with chimney maintenance and repairs, your traditional masonry fireplace could actually be a source of heat loss in the winter.
