"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rustic Heat did a fantastic job installing my new wood-burning fireplace insert and a new flue. Their work was professional, clean, and done right the first time. I was so impressed that I signed up for their $400 annual cleaning and inspection plan to keep everything in top shape. Highly recommend Rustic Heat — they really know what they’re doing!"

"He did a very good job.  He took off some extra branches to help the overall shape of the trees and removed branches that could potentially give us problems in the future if we had storms, etc. He had a helper who cleaned up the branches, etc. and did an excellent job.  Also, cut up some of the larger branches for firewood, which we can use."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever. 

Yes, you can operate an electric fireplace (and other types of fireplaces) without the remote. If you’ve misplaced the remote or are waiting for the replacement to arrive, you can still control the fireplace at the access panel. You can find the access panel near the firebox, typically located at the bottom or top of this section.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.

When your fireplace burns, chemicals like sulfur or calcium can release from the fuel leading to white stuff appearing on the glass. However, it could also signal an issue with your fireplace. If you notice crystal deposits, it indicates either your flame isn’t burning properly or venting well. 

There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:

  • Your fireplace pilot light won’t stay on.

  • You notice the smell of rotten eggs.

  • You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.

  • You notice a soot build-up.

  • The fire goes out unexpectedly.

If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a gas leak, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.
