Q: How do I maintain my chimney or fireplace?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.</p></div>

Q: What wood should not be burned?

• <div><p>While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or &ldquo;green wood,&rdquo; should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it&rsquo;s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of a chimney cap?

• <div><p>While chimney caps are an essential component of maintaining a safe, long-lasting chimney, they have disadvantages, too. The mesh of the chimney cap clogs easily with creosote, making it more difficult for the necessary oxygen to reach the fire. Chimney caps also develop discoloration and rust stains over time, causing damage to interior chimney walls.</p></div>

Q: Does a gas fireplace need a chimney?

• <div><p>Not all gas fireplaces need a chimney. If you install a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-ventless-gas-fireplaces.htm">ventless gas fireplace</a>, it will release low levels of combustion byproducts back into your living space (instead of pushing them outside through a chimney or vent). Ventless fireplaces burn fuel efficiently, so the emissions are minimal&mdash;but they could bother people with allergies or respiratory issues.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to clean and inspect an oil-fired chimney?

• <div><p>Cleaning and inspection costs range from $150 to $500, depending on chimney height, soot buildup, and necessary repairs.</p></div>

The installers were courteous and great to work with. We had over 30 windows installed, which obviously took some time. It was obvious towards the end that they were getting pressure from the top to get done. There were some issues with our new patio door that did not get completed correctly....
