Q: Can I clean my own chimney?

• <div><p>Cleaning your own chimney can be risky, especially if it hasn't been done in a long time and you lack the proper tools, knowledge, and safety equipment. The process involves getting onto the roof and handling soot, which poses safety issues. Remember, inhaling chimney soot is a significant health risk. Wearing the proper respiratory equipment is required.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose an EPA-approved wood fireplace insert?

• <div><p>You can research your fireplace insert or retrofit by checking out the <a href="https://cfpub.epa.gov/oarweb/woodstove/index.cfm?fuseaction=app.about">EPA wood stove database.</a> The database includes information, such as a model's emission rate, efficiency, and carbon dioxide output.</p></div>

Q: Do all pellet stoves need to be vented outside?

• <div><p>Burning wood and wood products such as pellets create carbon monoxide that&rsquo;s poisonous to humans and pets. Pellet stoves need to vent to the outside through an approved vent or chimney to expel the exhaust. </p></div>

Q: What’s the best time of year to clean a chimney?

• <div><p>The best time to clean your chimney is before you need to use it, which for most people is during the spring, summer, or early fall. Spring and summer are often ideal because the chimney is not in use, and chimney sweeps can access the roof more easily without snow and ice. The warmer months are also better for making any necessary repairs. To avoid the rush when chimney sweeps get booked up in early spring and late fall, scheduling your cleaning for the summer can be a safe bet. It's recommended to book your annual chimney sweep during these warmer months to maintain a yearly schedule.</p></div>

Q: How long will a 40-lb bag of pellets burn?

• <div><p>A 40-pound bag of wood pellets can provide a solid 24 hours or so of burn time, though the exact length may vary. If you&rsquo;re using your pellet stove as an exclusive heat source during the winter, you&rsquo;ll need an estimated 100 to 150 of those 40-pound bags, depending on how hot you like to keep your home, its size, the climate, and other factors.</p></div>

They had great reviews on Holly Lake Ranch Facebook group. They came out and checked all 4 units snd replaced a more modern AC cover upstairs. Converted our temperature to Fahrenheit and we are so happy with the service! Will have them come back for all our HVAC needs in the future.
