"Chimney Magic was very knowledgeable about code and requirements around stainless steel liners being required for clay fireplaces. They waterproofed the chimney after installing the liner, even rebuilding part of the chimney that had loose bricks. They were professional and really explained the issues. I highly recommend them!"

"Purchased:
A fireplace gas log insert with light, thermostat, and blower to look pretty, and to provide heat; that will be usable even if we lose power.  It can be used at a low level, with blower turned off, as a nice little fire (which my small dog adores).  The fire has several different levels, as does the blower; and comes with an adjustable backlight.  The thermostat is part and parcel of the remote control, not something to be placed on a wall.   At high temp/blower settings, it will quickly warm up my tall-ceilinged, large living room with one window wall (a room difficult to keep at a comfortable temperature during the winter).  Both the fireplace and remote can be battery-operated, although the fireplace is plugged into electric in normal operation.

Installation:

Installation was done just before Christmas.  There were some scheduling problems, but the owner (Peter Westbrook) made sure that he and his crew arrived on the promised date, even tho it was late.  They cleaned the chimney first, then installed a new cap and placed the 2 in-out air pipes for the insert.  Then, the insert was put in place and connected to the previously-installed gas line (you call your local plumber for this) and the air pipes.  Then the logs I had chosen (there are several styles) were placed inside; and the glass barrier (no more marshmallow roasts with this setup!) and the facing I'd selected (also multiple styles) were put in place.  They tested it, and the fire looked great; so the crew went home, late in the evening, to their families.
Problem:
Turns out, I had to click the remote button 5-10 minutes repeatedly before the fireplace would stay lit.  I called the company, and they promised to send someone out right after the holidays.  Wasn't so bad at first, since I was so enchanted with the fireplace!  But that got old quickly.
Resolution:
Peter Westbrook came out, and had his man back on the roof checking the placement of the air pipes.  They were fine.  After checking several items inside, Peter discovered it was all due to a slight misalignment of the ceramic logs; a sensor was blocked.  He adjusted that (only a matter of inches).  
Nowadays, I click once, and my fireplace lights up and works like a charm!  I absolutely love it, and am happy to rely on Dunrite Chimney & Stove for all annual checkups and cleanings, since they have been so courteous and cheerful and reliable."

"Very thorough, informative, and cost-conscious. They called 20 minutes before they arrived and arrived on time. Checked out the fireplace and oil burner chimneys. Provided proposal on repairs and maintenance while also explaining in detail the reasons for the repairs/maintenance. Cost estimates were reasonable.

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

If you haven’t had your chimney cleaned in some time, soot and grime can build up, making it difficult for the lever to release to close the flue. When this happens, locate the lever and clean it thoroughly. If this doesn’t help, consult with a fireplace repair pro to examine it for you.

No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.

The installation cost for a brick or stone gas fireplace typically ranges from $3,500 to $12,000. Key factors that influence the total expense include the type of material chosen, labor costs, the setup for the gas line, venting requirements, and any custom design elements.

Yes, a pellet stove can heat an entire house—as long as you choose one that’s large enough for that purpose. For context, pellet stoves generate between 8,000 and 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), and you’ll need 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot, depending on your climate zone. If you’re unsure which size pellet stove to buy, reach out to a local pellet or wood stove repair company.

The disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include a slow heating time and the effort required for fuel. It can take about an hour for a cold stove to produce noticeable heat. Additionally, homeowners must source their own fuel by buying or chopping firewood, cutting it to the appropriate size, and storing it in a dry place. The fire also requires regular attention, as you'll need to add more logs throughout the day.
