Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for setting up a gas, pellet, or wood stove?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on venting requirements and site preparation.</p></div>

Q: How do different stove options influence the overall installation expenses?

• <div><p>Costs depend on stove type, venting complexity, and additional features like hearth pads or decorative finishes.</p></div>

Q: Do creosote logs work?

• <div><p>Creosote logs can help to reduce new creosote build-up by about 60%, however they don&rsquo;t replace regular cleaning. While creosote logs can help to prevent build-up of creosote in your chimney, they won&rsquo;t remove build-up that&rsquo;s already there. Creosote logs can be used as a preventative measure in conjunction with regular cleaning, but you will still need to clean your chimney about once per year.</p></div>

Q: How often does a chimney need to be repointed and how long does the new pointing last?

• <div><p>When done correctly by a professional, chimney repointing can last for several decades&mdash;often 30 years or more. This maintenance is crucial for keeping the chimney structure sound, improving its waterproofing, and preventing more significant and costly repairs, such as a partial or complete rebuild. It is recommended to schedule an annual inspection to catch any potential issues early. If you notice the chimney's brickwork looks worn out or crumbly, you should hire a professional to inspect it.</p></div>

"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."
