"Rhonda was very helpful in setting up the appointment and Myke did an excellent job of cleaning the fireplaces that have not been cared for in years. He also prompted made some repairs to ensure animals are not getting into the chimney. In addition provided details on repairs needed to ensure safety and structural integrity of the fireplaces. Thank you for being so prompt and thorough."

"We chose Nick from Shortfix to repair our dishwasher, which had a blocked drain. This happened on a Saturday and, not surprising, many firms are closed for the weekend. Nick was available, so we scheduled an appointment and he arrived at the appointed time. He went right to work and promptly completed the necessary work. Nick was very courteous snd professional. I will not hesitate to call him if we have a problem with another one of our appliances."

"FINALLY A SERVICE COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST!! A few weeks ago my 80 year old mother called ANOTHER company to inspect her chimney. They told her that there were gaps between her tiles and that the only solution was to install a steel liner which she was quoted 7000 for. They tried to scare my mother into saying it was unsafe for her to use her fireplace and she needed to have the work done asap. This was suspicious to me as it did not make sense to have a liner installed if the tiles themselves were still in good condition. Thankfully I decided to get another opinion. I ended up calling Riaz chimney and the tech told me that all my mother needed was something called heatshield to be applied between the gaps and it would be a fraction of the cost. They came out that week and were amazing! Not only did they fix my mothers chimney but they saved her from being scammed out of THOUSANDS of dollars. I 100% recommend them to anyone and shame on these other companies trying to scam the elderly!"

"I've hired Don and his son Zack twice. First to do Brick and Stone step repair and most recently two do a full replacement of one of my window wells, repairing two others + waterproof a significant portion of one side of my house. It was a big job and Don, Zack and Nick handled it professionally, efficiently and effectively. I'm very impressed with their work and will hire them again for tuckpointing next year. Pricing is reasonable. Don kept me apprised of their process, when they would be working, and completed the work well within the timeframe I anticipated. I highly recommend Yates Masonry."

"The workers and office staff were easy to talk to, well informed, courteous , and efficient. They performed a thorough inspection. Recommended and installed a stainless liner and cap for the furnace flue and a new damper on the fireplace flue. Their price was better than previous quotes and even set up a partial payment plan. I am very pleased with the work they did."

No. Pellet stoves are specifically designed to burn manufactured wood or biomass pellets. Attempting to burn other materials, such as regular firewood or paper products, can damage the stove, compromise its efficiency, and even pose safety hazards due to inconsistent combustion and increased emissions. It's crucial to follow manufacturer guidelines and only use pellets that are specifically recommended for your pellet stove model to ensure safe and optimal performance over its life span.

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.

Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. For firewood, hardwoods are generally the best choice as they tend to burn longer, hotter, and produce less smoke than softwoods. Recommended hardwoods include oak, hickory, maple, cherry, ash, beech, birch, elm, and walnut. Oak is a particularly good option as it's widely available, slow-burning, and doesn't produce much smoke or sparks. Some woods, like oak, hickory, and cherry, also emit a pleasant scent. It is best to avoid softwoods such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, as they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes them difficult to light and burn efficiently.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.

There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:

  • Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney

  • Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance

  • Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox

  • Water stains in or around the fireplace

  • A broken or stuck damper
