How much does a chimney cleaning cost?

• <div><p>A chimney sweep costs <b>$130 to $380</b>, with an average price of about <b>$255</b>. It’s important to schedule a chimney cleaning—and inspection—annually, preferably before you start using your fireplace. A chimney sweep will clean the entire flue, scraping off creosote, dirt, and other debris. </p></div>

Can you remove a fireplace yourself?

• <div><p>You shouldn’t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-we-tear-down-fireplace-inside-house-without-having-remove-chimney-roof.htm">remove a fireplace yourself</a>. Before beginning this job, you’d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you’d need help from a structural engineer. Plus, fireplace removals require permits and often involve working with gas lines or electricity, which can be dangerous. For all of these reasons, it’s best to hire a pro for this project.</p></div>

Q: Are there any downsides to fireplace inserts?

• <div><p>Installing a fireplace insert can be complicated and expensive, particularly if modifications are necessary to accommodate it. The cost of purchasing an insert and necessary venting system can also be a significant investment. Fuel type may also be limited with gas or electric inserts, potentially reducing the cozy appeal of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Maintenance and repair may require specialized services, especially when dealing with gas lines or electrical components. Some argue that fireplace inserts lack the authentic ambiance of an open, crackling fire, with glass doors potentially reducing the visual appeal of the flames.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to run a gas fireplace or central heat?

• <div><p>Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don&rsquo;t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean my own fireplace and chimney?

• <div><p>DIY cleaning involves brushes and safety gear, but it may not be safe to reach high or hidden areas, so professional service provides comprehensive assurance.</p></div>

Dennis is an absolute pro! He remodeled my terribly boring fireplace and turned it into an absolute piece of art! I highly recommend him. Excellent communication, detailed work, honest, and just an all around great guy.

This company serviced my fireplace last year and did a great job, HOWEVER - when scheduling service this year they canceled the morning of the appointment and will not return my calls to reschedule. You will only get a voicemail recording when you call and no response via voice or web.
