"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

Owner operated company in business for over 20 years with a staff of 4 plumbing and heating service technicians. On call weekend and after hours emergency services available.

"I'm so happy with the service and pricing I got from Bakers Plumbing and Heating. It's a family-owned business but they have several crews dedicated to each of their services, so the furnace crew put in our new furnace quickly and professionally. But it's run like a small family business where you're likely to talk to the owner and he wants to make sure you're happy with the work. Can't recommend them highly enough."

"The first mistake was in their measuring and I ended up with too big of an insert. (This was almost eight years ago, and I let it go, although unhappy.) Because of the size miscalculation, installation took much longer. Come dark, the work quality seemed to change. In the end I was told nothing was getting in my chimney and they did not install an actual chimney cap. The resulting problem of 2018... This spring, a bird made it all the way down to my unit, alive. Affordable wouldn’t take care of anything except to say I could book a cleaning for inside the insert, which wasn’t the problem. Luckily I found a company that would help. Upon removing the insert, they found debris accumulated in the liner, and multiple dead birds. (The new bird had died, and there were apparently others prior.) This hazard had been ongoing for years, unbeknownst to me! Affordable said I should have called sooner?! Communication was drawn out for months, so it’s now October and I finally know Dave is not accepting any responsibility in my $891 repair bill that stated: *intake liner not to top of flue *open hole in top plate *no animal protection present *birds have entered into flue area, old smoke chamber, and have nested *unit must be removed and cleaned *new liners and termination cap required for safe, efficient venting. Needless to say I am very disappointed in my company choice and certainly do not recommend Affordable Heating."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The simplest way to tell whether your chimney damper is open or closed is to put your hand near the fireplace opening. If you feel a breeze, the damper is open. But if no draft comes from the chimney, the damper is closed.

Installing a fireplace insert can be complicated and expensive, particularly if modifications are necessary to accommodate it. The cost of purchasing an insert and necessary venting system can also be a significant investment. Fuel type may also be limited with gas or electric inserts, potentially reducing the cozy appeal of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Maintenance and repair may require specialized services, especially when dealing with gas lines or electrical components. Some argue that fireplace inserts lack the authentic ambiance of an open, crackling fire, with glass doors potentially reducing the visual appeal of the flames.

Both wood stoves and fireplaces are effective at heating, but wood stoves are more efficient, meaning more of the fuel is converted to heat rather than lost. Wood stoves, depending on the capacity, can also heat larger spaces, while fireplaces are better for heating smaller areas, like an individual room.

There is no universal remote that will work for all gas fireplaces or electric models. That’s because different remotes are designed to work with specific fireplace wiring, so some remotes may only work for on/off functions, while others work with fireplaces that have extra settings, such as timers or programmable thermostats. If you need a new remote, ensure the replacement is compatible with your specific fireplace model.

For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn’t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other types of fireplace inserts, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they’re banned in certain places (including California).
