Q: What are the benefits of installing a fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Installing a fireplace insert can get you more heat without replacing the whole fireplace and chimney.

Q: What stops water going down a chimney?

• <div><p>Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.</p></div>

Q: Do outdoor fireplaces require regular maintenance?

• <div><p>Outdoor fireplaces are extremely sturdy if constructed correctly, but they do require regular maintenance. The good news is that cleaning and checking the fireplace needs to be done just once a year. However, for safety reasons, let a professional clean the fireplace. Homeowners should expect to pay between <b>$100</b> <b>and</b> <b>$300</b> for outdoor fireplace maintenance. Any damage to the fireplace itself, however, will cost much more to repair. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a wood-burning stove?

• <div><p>The disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include a slow heating time and the effort required for fuel. It can take about an hour for a cold stove to produce noticeable heat. Additionally, homeowners must source their own fuel by buying or chopping firewood, cutting it to the appropriate size, and storing it in a dry place. The fire also requires regular attention, as you'll need to add more logs throughout the day.</p></div>

Q: What materials should I not use to clean soot off a stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Avoid using abrasive cleansing powders on natural stone, as these products could damage the porous material. Using bleach is also a poor idea because of the porosity of the stone. Avoid using a scrub brush with metal bristles, as they could scratch the stone. If you know who manufactured your stone or who installed the fireplace, you may want to contact that entity for any advice on cleaning it safely.</p></div>
