"Worst service I’ve ever have experienced. They wanted to sell me the product, never told me that there was an early termination fee and another penalty for an initial offer they gave me. Had double charges every month, once for the oil they provided (which they never told me they were going to provide before coming. They just came without my knowledge and then I find a high amount bill) and another for an “automatic payment” for 500 that they never could explain. The didn’t even fix this issue and it kept happening every month even after I cancelled the service. Then having to call them is a hastié for the refund of the 500. Stay away of this company"

"Our whole furnace broke and in within 48 hours we had a brand new one for a great price and ready to go before the winter. They worked quickly and efficiently especially with me having a little one running around. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Having a huge appliance break right before the cold weather comes was stressful and they did their best to make sure we didn't go without heat in our old house. Thank you for taking care of us and 5 stars hands down !"

"Doug Swartz is a con man. When they drilled holes in our yard they never filled the first hole and we had a sinkhole occur. When we had issues with our system a few years back and the system was not heating our kids bedroom, he told us to go buy a space heater to heat up the room; after spending $31,000 on his system. He is the persona of an irresponsible sales person and I would not use this man for his services."

"Brett was INCREDIBLE. It was a pleasure working with him. We're in the process of buying a house, and he was able to do our home inspection the very next day after we called him, and at the best price compared to competitors. He answered ALL of our questions and went through the house with a fine-tooth comb and examined every area that could be an issue and that would have to be fixed. He also gave us his personal estimation of the house, whether he believed it was a good buy based on what he saw. He has so many years of experience, and it clearly shows in the quality of his work. Would recommend him to anybody in the Pennsylvania and Maryland area looking for a home inspector. "

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you can leave your pilot light on year-round. This does use a small amount of fuel, so you’ll save on your energy bill by turning off the pilot light seasonally. Keep in mind that some gas fireplace models don’t have a standing pilot light.

The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. 

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 best way to clean fireplace bricks is to use a mild solution on saturated bricks. An equal mixture of water and vinegar or a drop of dish soap in a bowl of water can help remove grime from fireplace bricks. Make sure you wet the bricks thoroughly before applying the cleaner and rinse them after you’re done to prevent damage.

Pellet stoves are safer than wood stoves in many ways. They don’t produce as many creosote deposits as wood stoves do, they create less smoke, and the flames are contained, decreasing the risk of any sparks or embers creating a house fire. Pellet stoves also burn more cleanly and efficiently than wood stoves do.
