Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Although they provide heat, light, and atmosphere, pellet stoves require electricity to run certain parts, which some homeowners may find to be an unfortunate additional expense. They can also produce noises that some may find annoying, like a low rumble from the blower fan or its motor.

Fireplaces can last between 10 and 30 years on average. This life span heavily depends on the quality of the construction, the type of fireplace (wood-burning versus gas versus electric), the materials used, and how well you’ve maintained it. Most homeowners get around 20 years out of their fireplace before major issues start popping up.

Fireplace repair costs around $600 on average, but simple repairs can total as low as $100, while more complex repairs could reach up to $2,500 or more. The specific repair will be the most significant factor. Here are some common fireplace repairs below, along with the average pricing of each:

  • Firebox repair: $160–$2,500

  • Gas valve repair: $150–$300

  • Hearth repair: $150–$800

  • Igniter repair: $100–$150

  • Mantel repair: $500–$1,200

  • Pilot light repair: $100–$350

  • Refractory panel repair: $200–$300

  • Thermocouple repair: $75–$350

  • Thermopile repair: $75–$350

Visible signs that call for repair include cracks in the structure, the bricks, or mortar as well as loose bricks, flaky mortar, and chimney leaks. Some less obvious signs are dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence, a white substance that can look like a pale stain on the bricks. All of these indicate water damage, which can be devastating to a chimney’s safety.

A chimney requires both a cover and a cap, but these parts often get confused with one another. A chimney cover seals the top of the chimney around the flue pipe to prevent water from entering the chimney. A chimney cap is a piece that sits above the flue to prevent animals, debris, and water from entering the flue.
