Q: Can pellet stoves be used as a primary heating source in colder climates?

• <div><p>Yes, pellet stoves can serve as a primary heating source in colder climates, provided they are properly sized for the space and maintained regularly. They are capable of generating sufficient heat to keep homes comfortable during winter months. However, in regions with extremely low temperatures, you may need supplemental heating to ensure consistent warmth, especially during prolonged cold spells.</p></div>

Q: Do fireplace inserts increase home value?

• <div><p>Fireplace inserts can increase home value when installed correctly. Since they improve heating efficiency significantly, this will be a bonus to homeowners who are looking for a functional alternative heat source. Plus, inserts are less maintenance and less of a liability than a traditional fireplace. You&rsquo;re very likely to recover fireplace insert installation costs when you sell your home. </p></div>

Q: How long does a fireplace last?

• <div><p>A fireplace's lifespan varies significantly depending on its type, the quality of construction, the materials used, and how well it is maintained. On average, you can expect a fireplace to last between 10 and 30 years, with many homeowners experiencing major issues after about 20 years.</p><p>Here's a breakdown by type:</p><ul><li><p><b>Gas Inserts:</b> Typically last 10 to 25 years with proper maintenance.</p></li><li><p><b>Electric Fireplaces:</b> Have a lifespan of up to 20 years.</p></li><li><p><b>Traditional Brick Fireplaces:</b> Can last for centuries, but require ongoing maintenance and repairs, such as tuckpointing.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: What is a fireplace with no chimney called?

• <div><p>A fireplace that doesn&rsquo;t require a chimney is simply called a chimneyless fireplace. Don&rsquo;t confuse these with ventless fireplaces, however. There are some fireplaces that require ventilation via a system of pipes, not a chimney. More specifically, the fireplace in question will likely be called by its name, such as electric, ethanol, or balanced flue.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a flue or chimney cap?

• <div><p>If you have a chimney, you need a flue or chimney cap. The right covering keeps rain, debris, and animals from getting into your flue or chimney and causing damage. A flue or chimney cap also provides fire protection. The mesh insert around the cap keeps sparks from flying out of the chimney and igniting leaves and other materials.</p></div>

When I called for a price, he told me $135.00 to clean my fireplace, when he was finished he gave me a bill for $230.00. As far as the work done, it was good, I just did not like him charging me $100.00 more then I was quoted.

Robert and his crew do amazing work. They installed marble in my bathrooms and fireplace, changing my 70s monstrosity of a lava rock fireplace to a gorgeous, updated work of art. They are also polite, helpful and very reasonably priced.

"A congenial young man inspected the chimney (from both inside the house and the roof) and the fireplace. He covered the fireplace to keep the hearth clean. He explained what he was doing, and he made some recommendations. We now feel the fireplace is safe to use after many years of not using it."

"The two man crew arrived on time and worked non-stop. They were neat, polite, and genuinely cared about the work they were doing. They were finished in two days, and cleaned up the area completely. In addition, the people at the office were friendly and helpful, as was the salesman who helped us choose the shade that was right for us. This is a fantastic company across the board! I would do business with them again as well as recommend them to others.
