Q: How long does it take for creosote to build up in a chimney?

• <div><p>The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.</p></div>

Q: Do creosote logs work?

• <div><p>Creosote logs can help to reduce new creosote build-up by about 60%, however they don&rsquo;t replace regular cleaning. While creosote logs can help to prevent build-up of creosote in your chimney, they won&rsquo;t remove build-up that&rsquo;s already there. Creosote logs can be used as a preventative measure in conjunction with regular cleaning, but you will still need to clean your chimney about once per year.</p></div>

Q: What holds a chimney liner in place?

• <div><p>A chimney liner is held in place by a top plate and attached top clamp, both of which should be included in most chimney liner kits. The top plate seals to the top of the chimney flue and attaches directly to the liner. This not only holds the liner in place but supports its weight in the chimney.</p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces generate ash?

• <div><p>No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-gas-fireplace.htm">require maintenance</a>, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.</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>

I hired Jake to install a tv mount. Not only did he install the mount, he made a trip to Lowes to purchase needed supplies in order to correct an installation I attempted on my own (wall mount fireplace bracket). Now everything is secure and centered on the wall - it looks amazing!
