"The owner is very professional. He clearly explained the options and identified another potential danger area. We opted to remove the chimney as the cost to rebuild (above the roof line) would have been $8,800. The team was courteous and professional."

"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."

Both fireplaces required extensive work to adapt them to the new gas appliances.  The company installers worked for several days to configure them, including climbing to the top of our very high Victorian chimney to run the vent for the upstairs fireplace.  The upstairs fireplace also required the removal of a considerable amount of masonry material to allow it to accept the insert.  The installers were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.  They cleaned up when they were done.  We did have a little trouble with the upstairs insert when a vent fan would not come on.  This turned out to be a combination of a problem with the fan motor and a switch that would not allow the fan to come on unless the insert was very hot.  Emily came out and fixed the motor, and she recommended that the switch be bypassed to allow us to control the vent manually.  We took her recommendation, and it worked.  Both fireplaces provide good heat, and they fit in very well with our Victorian décor.  We were satisfied with all aspects of the job.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Most repairs take 2-6 hours, but extensive fixes or part replacements may require additional time.

They’re both types of wood-burning fireplaces, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.

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

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you can leave your pilot light on year-round. This does use a small amount of fuel, so you’ll save on your energy bill by turning off the pilot light seasonally. Keep in mind that some gas fireplace models don’t have a standing pilot light.

While you have some flexibility in the types of wood you can use in your outdoor furnace, it's important to make wise choices for optimal performance and efficiency. Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, and cherry, are generally recommended for their higher energy content and cleaner burn. These hardwoods produce more heat per volume and tend to produce fewer creosote deposits, which can accumulate and cause a chimney fire, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
