"Very well. Found that there were some issues with our gas fireplace set and CJW took care of it for us. We've never had work done before on a gas fireplace so we dont have much to compare it to. However, we feel it was done well and at a fair price. Would hire them again."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Both vented and ventless gas fireplaces have pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your needs and preferences. A ventless fireplace may be a good option if you do not have a chimney, but you should check local regulations as they are banned in some areas, such as California. On the other hand, if anyone in your household has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, a vented fireplace is a better choice for health and air quality.

A properly constructed and maintained chimney crown can last 50 to 75 years. However, its lifespan can be significantly shorter—20 years or less—if it was poorly constructed, improperly installed, or damaged. Factors like using the wrong materials or failing to prepare the brick around the flue can lead to moisture buildup and premature breakdown, potentially resulting in a more costly rebuild.

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.

This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you’re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.

If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it’s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.
