Q: What type of fireplace insert is most efficient?

• <div><p>Gas fireplace inserts are considered the most efficient because they convert more of the fuel source&mdash;gas&mdash;into heat. They offer excellent heat output per the amount of fuel they use. While electric fireplace inserts are praised for their efficiency, keep in mind that they don&rsquo;t offer as strong a heat output but may still be a great choice if you want an efficient option. </p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for setting up a gas, pellet, or wood stove?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on venting requirements and site preparation.</p></div>

Q: What happens if your chimney cap falls off?

• <div><p>Sometimes chimney caps blow off during storms or fall off after rusting away. While this typically won&rsquo;t cause structural damage, failing to replace a chimney cap can. A chimney cap prevents moisture, animals, and debris from entering your chimney, all of which can cause serious problems, such as damage to the masonry or blockages in the flue. </p></div>

Q: Does my chimney impact my HVAC system?

• <div><p>In most homes, your chimney and HVAC are separate from each other. However, you can use your chimney to save on heating costs in the winter. Turn off your HVAC system and start a cozy fire, then watch the electric bills drop during the coldest months. Make sure your flue is closed when not in use so that you don&rsquo;t end up pumping heat or cool air from your system outside.</p></div>
