"I had my home built in 2007 but never used the fireplace. During the ice storm I was without power and no heat. Since my fireplace is gas I called Healthy Home Services USA. They came the same day. Alex was very professional and explained to me how to use my fireplace. All I can say is my home is warm and I am grateful he came to clean and start my fireplace. Excellent service."
"Perez Masonry was very professional and their quality of work performed was exceptional. I will definitely use them again if I need any masonry work."

"We had a fireplace that had not been maintained from the prior owners. The job was well done, timely, fair price, and we now have a beautiful gas fireplace."
"The technicians were very prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. The owner, Mr. L Harman, was very kind and accomodating. They trouble shot the problem with my non-functioning gas log fireplace and installed a new set. I am very pleased with the results of completed job."
"We are very pleased with our gas log. We had actually shopped the area for some time looking for a quality product and comparing prices and decided to go with them. We think they did a great job. We have had no problems and there is a key you turn in the fireplace that will shut the gas off when not in use. I feel it is great way to have a fireplace in your home."
"We have Frontpoint at two houses. We had been looking for ways to cut our monthly expenses (Frontpoint is approx. $100 per month total), so I called them to find out what I could do. They informed me that I was under contract for another year, and that I cannot get out of the contract without an early termination fee that is equal to the cost of the service. I'm a little disappointed, because the upfront cost of the system was very expensive ($1,000+) for each house, so it seems odd that I would get sucked into this contract. Nevertheless, I forgot that I signed up for this with them. My calendar is marked for the day that my service ends, and I will be switching to a company that charges about half of what they do. They have OK customer service and are very responsive, but the wireless system had some issues with reception in my house due to a fireplace, and then they didn't want to work with me to get that resolved. They're OK, but I can't really recommend them."
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.
If you're looking for supplemental heating for your home, an electric fireplace can be worth purchasing. A prefab, freestanding model will only set you back a few hundred dollars and can help to heat up drafty or cooler rooms. Electric fireplaces don't have the maintenance requirements of gas or wood-burning fireplaces and don't require you to buy wood or other fuel.
When your fireplace is not in use for longer periods of time, such as over the summer, you can keep smells at bay by spraying either a commercial fireplace deodorizing product or a blend of one part distilled white vinegar to one part water around the walls of the fireplace.
Or, you can place a container of charcoal inside the fireplace to absorb odors. Just be sure to remove it before it’s time to start using the fireplace again.
You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won’t threaten healthy trees. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season—do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.
Your fireplace flue is open when the chimney is unsealed and open to the outside air and sky. That’s why one of the best ways to figure out if your flue is open is to visually check for daylight inside of your chimney—or to feel for a draft, which may be generated by the difference in temperatures inside and outside of your home.
