Q: How long does a chimney crown last?

• <div><p>A properly constructed and maintained chimney crown can last 50 to 75 years. However, its lifespan can be significantly shorter&mdash;20 years or less&mdash;if it was poorly constructed, improperly installed, or damaged. Factors like using the wrong materials or failing to prepare the brick around the flue can lead to moisture buildup and premature breakdown, potentially resulting in a more costly rebuild.</p></div>

Q: Do chimney liners need insulation?

• <div><p>Chimney liners often benefit from insulation, though it is not always required. Insulation helps improve the liner's efficiency by keeping flue gasses hotter, which enhances draft and reduces creosote buildup. It also prevents condensation, which can lead to corrosion. Insulation is important for chimneys on exterior walls or in colder climates. Some building codes may require insulation, so checking local regulations is essential.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a pellet stove?

• <div><p>This will depend on the size of the pellet stove and how much of the house you&rsquo;re heating, i.e. just one room or the entire house. Many pellet stoves use anywhere from 80 to 345 watts of electricity per hour. In terms of the pellets, a 40-pound bag can cost $5 to $9. A bag of pellets will burn for about 24 hours.</p></div>

Q: Should a chimney be sealed?

• <div><p>Chimneys should either be sealed or waterproofed, which is different from sealing off&mdash;closing at both ends&mdash;a chimney. Waterproofing and sealing are both crucial steps to take to prevent water damage and the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/chimney-leaking-inside-house.htm">chimney leaking inside the house</a>. While waterproofing is more comprehensive, both help safeguard your chimney, extending its life span and preventing expensive repairs. </p></div>

Q: Is it hard to learn how to remove a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work. Some homeowners may choose to hire a pro to only handle the gas line for them. They then may attempt to remove the actual insert on their own, which is a challenging&mdash;but not impossible&mdash;DIY project.</p></div>
