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. 

DIY is not recommended due to safety and venting requirements. Professional installation ensures proper operation and compliance with codes.

The answer can vary widely based on a home's age and design. As with any type of remodeling project, assume that every structure is load-bearing until confirming otherwise with a structural engineer. Almost all modern homes have chimneys that are fully independent from the rest of the home's framing. As a result, they don't bear any load beyond their own weight. However, many historic homes built prior to the 1900s contain load-bearing chimneys that tie into the surrounding roof and floor joists. If possible, use a home's blueprints or look for chimney connections that indicate load-bearing qualities to get your answer.

In addition to an annual inspection, regular maintenance will keep your gas fireplace in good condition. Keep the glass, logs, and other accessible parts free of dust and debris, check for broken logs or rocks, and look for any gaps or cracks in the glass or exterior. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detector before you start using your fireplace for the season.

Wood stove installation fees start around $1,500. This wood stove itself can cost $850 to $2,000, depending on the model. After considering both the stove and wood stove company’s fees, most homeowners pay $3,000 to $4,000 to install a wood-burning stove.
