"Overall I would recommend ACT air duct cleaning. I live in a 1913 colonial and I doubt this has ever been done in this house. I did some research on the EPAs website on this service and read a lot about it beforehand. The team arrived on time and answered all of my questions before they got started. I was glad I educated myself a little bit beforehand so that I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. The process and tools ACT uses to do their job is interesting and seems very thorough. When reading their website I didn't understand that they were going to cut a hole in one of my air ducts. My husband would have had a fit if they'd done that, so I told them they would have to come up with a work around for that. They talked with Jared (owner) and then figured out a work around. The team was very polite and kept me informed of the process. I will say that there is some dust associated with this process. Meaning that you can get some "blowback" from some of the vents. They went around with a vacume and cleaned up any mess they found from "blowback". The team cleaned up very well and left my house as they found it. I have noticed a big difference with the decrease in dust in my house since this service has been performed. I'm glad I did this. I got the Angie's list deal on this service so I thought it was a really good deal.

"I have been using them for 3 years for multiple projects and would not go to somebody else. They also built a cabin in the woods. It was built 10 miles from the road so it was like carrying all the stuff up the path. They also did the garage and remodeling of the house, mostly kitchen and a little bit of plumbing work in the bathroom. I am still using them and I would be using them for the next thing that will be coming up too."

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.
For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn’t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other types of fireplace inserts, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they’re banned in certain places (including California).
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on venting requirements and site preparation.
One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote—a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar—it’s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.
You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won’t threaten healthy trees. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season—do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.
