"Dr. Chimney knows his chimneys. And fireplaces. I have two monster fireplaces and one 30ft chimney and he looked at the chimney and said it's not code and doesn't have a crown and is wearing away at the top, and I said let's put one on, and he did, with the aid of his partner and 30ft scaffolding. It looks great and is guaranteed fifteen years. Then he cleaned my fireplaces, which is why he was originally called, and no one in twenty years has cleaned them so thoroughly, they look so good I hate to burn wood in them, but I will, as soon as the crown cures, that very moment we will have a cheery blaze. Dr. Chimney says we have now become part of the Dr. Chimney Family, and this is just to let him know we are proud to be members."

The cost to rebuild a fireplace varies dramatically depending on what you want to do and the type of fireplace you are rebuilding.

The good news is functioning fireplaces increase your home’s value and are generally a good investment.
No, there are no ventless pellet stoves. Because pellet stoves burn wood pellets, they produce wood smoke—which contains carbon monoxide. This harmful substance needs to be vented out of your living area. That said, there are vent-free and ventless fireplaces that run on natural gas and propane. These offer the heating and ambiance of a fireplace without the need to vent thick and hazardous wood smoke.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood’s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.
Yes, pellet stoves can serve as a primary heating source in colder climates, provided they are properly sized for the space and maintained regularly. They are capable of generating sufficient heat to keep homes comfortable during winter months. However, in regions with extremely low temperatures, you may need supplemental heating to ensure consistent warmth, especially during prolonged cold spells.
