"I recently used Alliance Chimney & Energy to inspect and clean my chimney. They were very thorough and professional. The technicians arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and left my fireplace sparkling clean. However, if you're looking to upgrade your fireplace for more heating efficiency or add a new heat source altogether, Belle Flame [https://belleflame.com/] might be a good resource to explore. Here's why: Focus on Heating Solutions: While Alliance Chimney excels at fireplace maintenance, Belle Flame offers a wider range of heating options beyond traditional fireplaces. They carry high-efficiency wood burning stoves and fireplace inserts that can provide significant heating power for your home. Efficiency and Clean Burning: Modern wood burning stoves are designed to be much cleaner burning and more efficient than traditional fireplaces. This can save you money on firewood and reduce your environmental impact. Overall, Alliance Chimney & Energy did a great job cleaning and inspecting my fireplace. However, if you're looking for additional heating solutions or a more efficient heating option, Belle Flame might be worth considering."

"We are very happy with all the work they have done. They had to demolish original brick fireplace and rebuild it into more modern style as per design we chose. After that they installed wood burning insert. We have been using the fireplace all winter and it is working and looks great. Chuck is very professional and very organize. We will definitely hire Alliance Chimney again in the future as we have one more fireplace to update."

"We’re enjoying the heat and beauty of our new fireplace as I write this! Chimney Cricket supported us through a tough series of errors caused by manufacturer’s lack of support. Finally they were able to locate the errors and get our beautiful new fireplace up and running. My only word of warning to folks considering installation of a new fireplace: make sure the model you select has a track record of easy installation and servicing, and that the manufacturer is known for standing behind their products."

"Chimney Joe is wonderful.I needed the crack in the back wall of my fireplace repaired and Joe came out (after I’d talked to several chimney services ;of which I didn’t like),and told me what was wrong and what I needed to do . He is honest, straight forward , and quick.We ordered new panels for the walls of the fireplace Joe installed them in 45 minutes and we were back in business that evening. My husband and I enjoyed our Fireplace and we haven’t had a problem since ! Chimney Joe will service our fireplace from now on ."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Compared to certain types of firewood like pine or spruce—which burn off sticky resin contained within the wood that creates lots of smoke—elm isn’t the worst option for burning in a fireplace.

Because elm wood is dense, it burns at a moderate pace and does a pretty good job of keeping your home warm. Hardwood like maple or oak may perform slightly better, but elm isn’t a bad choice overall.

The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.

Note: Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it’s always a good idea to check local building codes.

While wood stove fans are effective for improving heat distribution, they rely on the stove reaching a certain temperature to operate efficiently. If the stove does not generate enough heat, the fan may not start or may not move air effectively. Additionally, like any fan, wood stove fans cannot cool a stove or reduce its heat output—they only redistribute existing warmth.

You can control the flame on a pellet stove by using a damper, often located on the back of the pellet stove. While the damper function varies by model, you can open the damper slightly to let in more air or close it slightly to provide less oxygen, with the ultimate goal of providing a steady flame.

If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it’s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.
