Do they make ventless pellet stoves?

• <div><p>No, there are no ventless pellet stoves. Because pellet stoves burn wood pellets, they produce wood smoke—which contains carbon monoxide. This harmful substance needs to be vented out of your living area. That said, there are vent-free and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-ventless-gas-fireplaces.htm">ventless fireplaces</a> that run on natural gas and propane. These offer the heating and ambiance of a fireplace without the need to vent thick and hazardous wood smoke.</p></div>

How do I know if my chimney is safe?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can look out for to ensure your chimney is safe to use. Check for the following issues:</p><ul><li><p>Cracks or missing pieces in the masonry of the chimney</p></li><li><p>Creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a black, tar-like substance</p></li><li><p>Cracks, stains, or scorch marks in the firebox</p></li><li><p>Water stains in or around the fireplace</p></li><li><p>A broken or stuck damper</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How can you keep a house warm with single-pane windows?

• <div><p>Single-pane windows might let in the cold, but if you&rsquo;re not ready for a long-term solution or window replacement, there are quick fixes to keep your space warmer. Start by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-winterize-your-windows-and-doors.htm">sealing gaps with weatherstripping</a> or caulking around the frame to block drafts. For an extra barrier, apply window insulation film to the glass, trapping an air pocket between the film and the window. Thick curtains or thermal drapes can also help keep the chill at bay. And if you&rsquo;re in a pinch and looking to get creative, bubble wrap can provide a surprisingly effective layer of insulation&mdash;just spritz the window with water and press it on, bubble side in. </p></div>

Q: How much does a chimney cap cost?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-replace-cap-and-3-feet-bricks-chimney.htm">chimney cap costs</a> about <b>$300 on average</b>. The prices range from about $75 to $1,000, depending on the material, size, any repairs needed, and if your chimney cap requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, copper, or stainless steel. Additional costs may include hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before a cap is installed. </p></div>

Q: Can you have a fire indoors without a chimney?

• <div><p>The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is more complex. Unless the fireplace is ventless by design, you&rsquo;ll need some type of exhaust pipe system to safely send fumes and other harmful byproducts out of the house. Even then, ventless fireplaces are not always permitted because they do keep the byproducts inside of your house. Ventless fireplaces are safest when installed in spaces that are themselves well-ventilated, like large rooms with lots of windows.</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.
