"Aurel came to do a cleaning on wood burning fireplace in house recently purchased and repaired a crack on outside. After cleaning showed us cracks inside fireplace that needed to be sealed to prevent fire hazard, upgrade to flu and replacement of crown. Very honest in assessment, detailed in explanation and fair price. While his guys were repairing crown, also noticed cracks in concrete under crown which is where water had gotten in and caused original crack below they had fixed . Took pics and explained what had found and solution to seal with weatherproof compound. 2nd chimney on house recently redone by previous owner but concrete on top not done correctly and entirely crumbling so cleaned that up and poured new concrete. Also exhaust pipe not properly sealed. Gave me before and after pics of everything. I appreciate their thoroughness in looking at everything, not just job we had discussed. This saved us a lot of money down the road if damages on roof werenâ t caught now. They were on time, clean and professional. I would highly recommend."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

To maintain a stove, clean the stove, chimney, or vent regularly. You should also use seasoned wood or pellets. Schedule an annual professional inspection to ensure safety.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.

A well-constructed and regularly maintained brick chimney can last 50 to 100 years, potentially spanning multiple generations of homeowners. The exact lifespan depends on the quality of construction, materials, local environment, and maintenance. In contrast, a metal chimney typically lasts 15 to 20 years. While the main structure is durable, individual components have shorter lifespans and require more frequent replacement. For example, mortar may need repointing every 20 to 30 years, chimney crowns last 50 to 75 years, and liners can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years depending on the material (e.g., stainless steel vs. cast-in-place).

Yes, there are regulations on using wood stoves, particularly concerning emissions and installation standards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets emission limits for wood stoves to ensure they burn cleaner and more efficiently. Additionally, local building codes may have specific requirements for installation and venting, so it's essential to check with local authorities before installing or upgrading your stove.

The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements.
