Q: Are chimney crowns the same thing as a chimney caps?

• <div><p>No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.</p></div>

Q: What is a fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Fireplace inserts are essentially wood, gas, or electric stoves designed to fit into an existing masonry fireplace. People opt to install inserts because traditional fireplaces can lose a lot of heat, require more maintenance, and may impact indoor air quality. A fireplace insert installer near you can help you decide which brand and size fit your home. </p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of a wood furnace?

• <div><p>One disadvantage of a wood furnace is that you need a constant supply of wood to run it. Even if you have a good amount of wood on your property (or have another way to get affordable wood), you&rsquo;ll still need to chop it, store it, and re-fuel your furnace with it to keep your house heated. </p></div>

Q: How long does a chimney crown last?

• <div><p>If properly constructed with the right materials, a chimney crown can last 50 to 70 years. If done poorly, your chimney cap could need replacing in 20 years or less. </p></div>

Q: How long can a chimney go without cleaning?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should have your chimney cleaned and inspected once a year. Since different materials and conditions can cause creosote to build up at different rates, there might be times when you need to sweep your chimney more frequently. An annual inspection will help you determine if more frequent cleaning is necessary.</p></div>

The original installer of the fireplace would not return my calls to come out and look at the fireplace. I found Randall through this website and he came out the same day and fix the fireplace and explained why it was not working, etc. He was professional, knowledgeable, and we will continue to...

Once it was scheduled, it went very well. The work was purchased as a special on Angie's List. The price was good, the young man who performed the work took some time to explain some concerns about the fireplace. The only problem was that it took several weeks to schedule and I'm not sure why...

Everything went very well. We decided to convert an old grill in our basement (built in) into a gas fireplace. We had several people out to inspect it, and the determination was that a gas insert would be OK but that there was no way to put vented/ventless logs directly into the box. We shopped...
