Q: What is the white stuff on the glass of my gas fireplace?

• <div><p>When your fireplace burns, chemicals like sulfur or calcium can release from the fuel leading to white stuff appearing on the glass. However, it could also signal an issue with your fireplace. If you notice crystal deposits, it indicates either your flame isn&rsquo;t burning properly or venting well. </p></div>

Q: Can I put a pellet stove in a corner?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you&rsquo;re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don&rsquo;t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation&mdash;you&rsquo;ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it&rsquo;s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner&rsquo;s manual for specific instructions.</p></div>

Q: Does an outdoor fireplace need fire bricks?

• <div><p>Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won&rsquo;t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace. </p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of year to clean a chimney?

• <div><p>The best time to clean your chimney is before you need to use it, which for most people is during the spring, summer, or early fall. Spring and summer are often ideal because the chimney is not in use, and chimney sweeps can access the roof more easily without snow and ice. The warmer months are also better for making any necessary repairs. To avoid the rush when chimney sweeps get booked up in early spring and late fall, scheduling your cleaning for the summer can be a safe bet. It's recommended to book your annual chimney sweep during these warmer months to maintain a yearly schedule.</p></div>

Q: Can a stove last 20 years?

• <div><p>While most stoves won&rsquo;t last two decades, some do! Gas stoves and pellet stoves are more likely to go the distance than electric stoves or induction cooktops, and maintenance can go a long way toward increasing longevity.</p></div>

"The installation occurred very soon after our initial purchase. A week earlier than their original estimate.
Reno Patio and Fireplaces took care of all City of Reno permitting and inspection which was included in their price. The crew was very friendly and informative during the sunshade installation. They came prepared and never asked to use the bathroom or for a drink of water. They made ever effort to respect our privacy and made sure we knew when it was safe to let our dogs out.
Our sunshade looks as though it was an original part of the house (we have a newer home that was recently painted). They had a full array of metal colors to choose from and the one we picked for the columns and trim almost exactly matched our house color. The electrician they recommended, Clay McKinney, owner of "The Power Company" did a beautiful job installing 15 LED lights in the sunshade so we now have warm, even lighting all across our patio.
We would definitely recommend Reno Patio and Fireplaces to our friends and family.
