Disasters occur on a daily basis, and they affect countless lives in their aftermath. First General Services of Western PA, founded in 1984, began servicing our neighbors in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. Everything from Water damage, to Fire and Smoke damage to your home or business; to Storm and Wind damage, to Mold, and everything in between. At First General Services of Western PA, we not only understand the need for a quick and superior response, but also the needs of our neighbors to be able to get their lives back to normal. Which is why we’ve redesigned our contents division. Because our neighbors’ homes, and their lives, just aren’t the same without their precious items in it. Our Recovery Technicians have successfully helped thousands recover from disasters, and will help you through yours, too.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.

Gas, electric, and inductive. Technically speaking, inductive stoves also fall under the electric stove category. However, they use electromagnetic energy to turn the cookware itself into a heat source instead of heating the burner to heat the cookware. As a result, they ensure precise temperature control, which is often the biggest complaint from people switching from gas to electric.

Most repairs take 2-6 hours, but extensive fixes or part replacements may require additional time.

Some of the reasons a chimney damper won't close properly include shoddy installation, age-related damage, or heavy snow or ice affecting a top-sealing type. Poor chimney maintenance and a buildup of rust, debris, or creosote can also cause dampers to jam. Annual inspections and chimney sweep costs are worth it to help you avoid a damper disaster. 

Based on the current national fuel prices, running a gas fireplace costs about $0.35 per hour if it uses natural gas or $0.62 per hour if it runs on propane. However, these figures depend on fuel prices in your area. For one heating season, it costs an average of $400 to $640 to run a gas fireplace, depending on your location and how often you use your fireplace.
