"I am pleased with every part of the task of cleaning my chimney. Steve made it easy to make an appointment that was convenient for me and Mike arrived on time and went through every facet of cleaning my chimney. Mike used techniques I have never seen for cleaning... I have been wood for more than 20 years. It was a win/win and I signed up for their yearly cleaning which as a senior will save me money and give me confidence my unit is safe to use. Thanks!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Pellet stoves are safer than wood stoves in many ways. They don’t produce as many creosote deposits as wood stoves do, they create less smoke, and the flames are contained, decreasing the risk of any sparks or embers creating a house fire. Pellet stoves also burn more cleanly and efficiently than wood stoves do.

No, not all chimneys need a damper. However, most chimneys do, especially in newer homes. Most gas-burning fireplaces cannot function safely without a damper. Only some older wood-burning fireplaces can function safely without one. A chimney without a damper is essentially just an open hole in the roof of your home.

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.

In many cases, it is worth repairing an old fireplace. You can repair any portion of the fireplace, and even extensive repairs will usually cost less than a full replacement. Most fireplace repairs cost around $600 and top out around $2,500. Replacing your fireplace will cost around $2,500 and reach as high as $4,000. Not only will fireplace repair save you money in most cases, but the process is also much less invasive and time-consuming, so you’ll only have to set aside one day to be home for the work rather than multiple days.

A liter of bioethanol costs $11 and burns for around four hours, making it cost around $2.75 per hour to keep your bioethanol fireplace running. For comparison, natural gas costs around $0.50 per hour, and propane costs around $1.60 per hour. 

How much it costs you to run your bioethanol fireplace largely depends on how often you use it. Hypothetically speaking, if you run your fireplace for four hours a week year-round, you’ll go through one liter of biofuel per week or about $570 per year to run the fireplace.
