We are extremely satisfied with our generator purchase. We interviewed several different companies and Alternative Home Energy and Maintenance was the only firm that understood our needs. They did a thorough review of our electrical and gas configuration on the initial sales call, which none...
KeneratorGreat company if you want to pay retail or above prices for used junk. No deals to be had here anymore. These guys are too lazy to even price check their prices against Walmart retail. Plus, workers conveniently forget to put prices on items THEY want till the last day. Might as well save...

East Texas Leak LocatorsOur gas furnace quit producing heat, and I started smelling gas in the house near the furnace. This on a Saturday afternoon.

Aire Serv Of Smith CountyAn ancient built-in gas grill collapsed by my back patio last night, so this morning I called the gas company, Centerpoint. The first rep said they would take care of it for me, and instructed me to tell the 2nd rep that I needed the gas line capped off. However, the next Centerpoint rep was...
C. Woods CompanyVery personable guy, but took forever. He billed me for 7 hrs for a simple water conditioner install to an existing loop. Admittedly, it also included a carbon pre-filter, but the installation is identical to a regular water softner but without the drain (so it should be easier!). This time...
Overall they did a good job of troubleshooting and letting me know what the problem was. They were courteous, professional, and prompt. The price includes the serivce charge for the A/C unit and the parts and labor plus the service plan for my natural gas. They cleaned up well after themselves.

I am a third generation mason with over 40 years experience in the masonry industry. I do masonry restorations and repairs. I believe the true measure of success is satisfied customers and my number one priority is customer satisfaction. I will always operate my business with honesty and ethics above all else. A lot of the masonry projects over the last 20 years, especially in Texas, have been performed by semi-skilled tradesmen and the need for skilled craftsmen has never been greater. I do the work myself or with my son, a fourth generation mason. We would like an opportunity to serve you, restore, and repair your brick or stone. We also do room additions and new construction and look forward to working with you. References available, insured for your protection.

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The cost to repair a fireplace depends on the type, extent of repairs needed, and your location. The average cost to repair a fireplace varies depending on the part of the fireplace that needs work:
Firebox: $160–$2,500
Refractory panel: $200–$300
Hearth: $150–$800
Mantel: $500–$1,200
Pilot light: $100–$350
Igniter: $100–$150
Gas valve: $150–$300
Thermocouple: $75–$350
Thermopile: $75–$350
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
