Q: What are the benefits of installing a fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Installing a fireplace insert can get you more heat without replacing the whole fireplace and chimney. Other benefits include their convenience (you can turn them on and off with a simple flip of a switch), safety (most models have built-in sensors that will turn off the fireplace if they detect carbon monoxide), a modern aesthetic, and superior energy efficiency. </p></div>

Q: Which way is open on a fireplace flue?

• <div><p>Your fireplace flue is open when the chimney is unsealed and open to the outside air and sky. That&rsquo;s why one of the best ways to figure out if your flue is open is to visually check for daylight inside of your chimney&mdash;or to feel for a draft, which may be generated by the difference in temperatures inside and outside of your home.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn&rsquo;t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-fireplace-inserts.htm">types of fireplace inserts</a>, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they&rsquo;re banned in certain places (including California).</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.</p></div>

Q: How long does gas fireplace installation take?

• <div><p>The timeframe for a gas fireplace installation typically ranges from 1 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the project. A basic installation with gas line connections and venting may take 1-3 days, whereas a more involved project that includes framing and masonry work can take 3-7 days.</p></div>

Wonderful experience with these guys. I uploaded a photo of the repair I needed (repointing outdoor section of brick fireplace) and was given a quote within minutes. They were easy to talk to and arrived on time for the project. Finished quickly and left the area clean. Highly recommend.

"Dennis (and Ross, the man he had working for him/ with him, )were just what we wanted. Professional, honest, and hard working. The agreed upon repairs to our patio and outdoor fireplace project turned out great. Dennis listened to our ideas and gently led us in the right direction when we had our own opinions. Later, looking at the finished product, I’m so glad we listened to him. The grout color I had offered would have NEVER looked right. We are very pleased. The price he quoted for the work he did felt right. He didn’t price gouge, even in this economy. We would highly recommend."
