"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

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

Running a gas fireplace costs approximately $0.35 per hour for natural gas and $0.62 per hour for propane, though these figures can vary significantly based on fuel prices in your area. On average, the annual cost to run a gas fireplace is between $400 and $640. The exact impact on your utility bill depends on several factors, including how often you use it, the size of the room you're heating, and the fireplace's BTU rating. Some models with a constantly running pilot light will consume a minimal amount of energy even when off, although many modern fireplaces do not require one. If you are looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider an electric fireplace.

The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That’s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.

Wood stove fans are designed to operate quietly, emitting only a subtle hum from their motor. This low noise level ensures minimal disruption in your living space, allowing you to enjoy the warmth without distraction. The fan blades, which are engineered for efficient air circulation, contribute to the overall quiet operation. This makes wood stove fans a practical choice for maintaining a peaceful environment while effectively distributing heat throughout your room or home.
