Q: What are common gas fireplace issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include pilot light failure, clogged burners, and faulty ignition systems. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.</p></div>

Q: How do you control the flame on a pellet stove?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.</p></div>

Q: Is a wood stove or fireplace better for heating?

• <div><p>Both wood stoves and fireplaces are effective at heating, but wood stoves are more efficient, meaning more of the fuel is converted to heat rather than lost. Wood stoves, depending on the capacity, can also heat larger spaces, while fireplaces are better for heating smaller areas, like an individual room.</p></div>

"I adore this company. Kyle has been taking care of my Chimney for years. Some years I burn a lot and sometimes not so much. When it needs swept he takes care of it, as well as my dryer vents. When they donâ t need done he lets me know and doesnâ t charge me for coming out. Not even gas! Heâ s truly an honest man. He has gotten his kids involved in the business now that they are growing up. They are always polite and will chat with me while working. Itâ s heartwarming to see. Last year I needed a big repair after a storm blew my cap right off! He and his son came out and put a tarp over until the worst had passed. Work was done within 2 weeks and it was money well spent! They even helped removed bees and birds over the years. Iâ m not good at technology so my grandson is helping me write this up. I really wanted to give credit where it is due. Thank you for taking care of this old lady like family!"

Chimney sweeps perform three levels of inspections:

Level One: This is a basic annual inspection, often a visual inspection during cleaning, which is the most affordable.
Level Two: This stage is ideal when selling or buying a home as it involves an inspection of the attic and roof, which is moderately priced.
Level Three: This is a very thorough inspection that should take place after major storms or earthquakes, which is the most costly type of inspection.
