A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open.

Q: What is the difference between a wood fireplace and a wood insert?

• <div><p>They&rsquo;re both <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-wood-burning-fireplace-options-heat-your-home.htm">types of wood-burning fireplaces</a>, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.</p></div>

Q: Do pellet stoves require a lot of electricity to operate?

• <div><p>Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.</p></div>

Hi, I’m Madisen — professional cleaner, bread enthusiast, and firm believer that everyone deserves a clean home without a side of judgment.\n\nLife gets messy. Kids happen. Depression happens. ADHD happens. Work gets crazy. Sometimes your laundry pile develops its own ecosystem. I’ve seen it all, and I promise I’ve never walked into a home thinking, “Wow, I can’t believe this.” Usually I’m thinking, “Challenge accepted.”\n\nMy goal is simple: make your home feel lighter, fresher, and more peaceful while making you laugh at least once along the way.\n\nI’m the kind of cleaner who will scrub your baseboards like they personally offended me, celebrate finding the floor again under the toy avalanche, and possibly show up with homemade bread for your first cleaning because that’s just the kind of chaos I’m bringing to the business.\n\nThis is a judgment-free zone. Whether your house is spotless and you just need an extra set of hands, or you’re one unfolded laundry basket away from filing a missing

"They stuck to their schedule and performed the work in a timely manner. Very professional and knowledgeable. They listened to what I had to say about what the problem was and they included a warranty so they may come back if there are any issues. They did a good job! As for the quality of service and value for my money, these questions cannot be answered until the chimney has gone through a period of heavy rain to see if the leak has been stopped. Therefore, that rating is provisional, since I have no reason to think the quality is not good but I have to reserve my answer until we have extensive rain. Overall, they impressed me as being a very professional and competent company."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.

There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.

There are a handful of things you can look out for that indicate fireplace repair is necessary in your home:

See or smell smoke in your home during use.
You smell gas or unusual odors coming from your fireplace.
The fireplace is visibly damaged or crumbling.
The igniter won’t light.
You notice shaling (pieces of chimney lining) building up in your fireplace.
Any portion of the fireplace is rusted.
You notice efflorescence (white stains) on the brick.

If any of these signs emerge or you suspect that you have an issue, call in a fireplace repair professional immediately.

They’re both types of wood-burning fireplaces, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.
