Q: Does a chimney need to be cleaned every year?

• <div><p>The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that chimneys and their associated elements like fireplaces, vents, or stoves should be cleaned at least once a year before the start of seasonal use. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a chimney should be cleaned when there is 1/8 inch of soot buildup. If there&rsquo;s more than that, creosote&mdash;a flammable byproduct of burning wood&mdash;can form and increase the risk of a chimney fire. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean brick?

• <div><p>For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.</p></div>

Q: What is the best style of chimney cap?

• <div><p>The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.</p></div>

Q: Do you open a flue with a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>Yes, if your gas fireplace has a flue, you typically need to open it when using the fireplace. Although gas fireplaces don&rsquo;t produce the type of smoke and soot that wood-burning ones do, they still release combustion gasses like carbon monoxide. Opening the flue ensures these gasses safely exit your home through the chimney. Not all <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-a-gas-fireplace-need-a-chimney.htm">gas fireplaces need a chimney</a>, however. Always check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for your specific gas fireplace model, as some newer models may have different ventilation requirements. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a pellet stove?

• <div><p>This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you&rsquo;re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.</p></div>
