"I own a rental property in Boston and recently had a heating system issue. I was able to quickly get in touch with Aaron, told him that my tenant has a small child, and while Aaron was on the road in RI, he made an effort to stop by the place to fix the issue that same night. It meant the world to me, let alone my tenant! Aaron is always easily reachable. If he doesn't pick up, he must be actively working and simply can't. I typically text him and he gets back to me very shortly. He has been my go-to guy and will remain to be for as long as I need HVAC services. My tenant told me that Aaron is so accommodating and super easy to work with. You can't find people like Aaron anymore. I highly recommend NE Temperature Control! Aaron, thank you!!!"

My name is Nektarios "Nick" Arsenis and I am the proud owner of Naxos Electric. My company is named after the island I was born and raised on in Greece. It was there at the early age of 15 that I began my electrical career, which I continued to pursue when I came to the USA in 2000. Naxos Electric is founded on the same ethics and values that I was raised with: reliability, great communication, integrity and quality work. I strongly believe in giving my absolute best on all projects and look forward to assisting you with your next task or project. We are fully licensed and insured. Call us today at (401) 330-0175 for a free estimate!

"Aside from the fact that my lights are working now, I want to say how much I appreciate Nick's professionalism and prompt attention to my problem. The power outage was in an office area that I needed access to for work in the evening and Nick (hearing the desperation in my voice) moved his schedule around and was willing to come to my home 90 minutes later. It was after hours and he was willing to do me a great kindness at a reasonable cost. What more could you ask?"

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.

Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.

Yes, masonry fireplaces require an adequately constructed chimney to vent smoke and gases.

Cracked panels, worn-out seals, faulty dampers, and firebrick damage often need professional attention.

The simplest way to tell whether your chimney damper is open or closed is to put your hand near the fireplace opening. If you feel a breeze, the damper is open. But if no draft comes from the chimney, the damper is closed.

If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can use vinegar to clean quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.
