Get matched with top fireplace pros in Poolville, TX

Q: What holds a chimney liner in place?

• <div><p>A chimney liner is held in place by a top plate and attached top clamp, both of which should be included in most chimney liner kits. The top plate seals to the top of the chimney flue and attaches directly to the liner. This not only holds the liner in place but supports its weight in the chimney.</p></div>

Q: What uses the most gas in a house?

• <div><p>In homes that have a gas furnace, it's typically the heating system that uses the most gas. That explains why your gas bill is almost always higher in the winter and other colder months than it is in the summer. Other appliances that may use gas include your water heater, clothes dryer, and stove.</p></div>

Q: Can I use any type of wood in my outdoor furnace?

• <div><p>While you have some flexibility in the types of wood you can use in your outdoor furnace, it's important to make wise choices for optimal performance and efficiency. Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, and cherry, are generally recommended for their higher energy content and cleaner burn. These hardwoods produce more heat per volume and tend to produce fewer creosote deposits, which can accumulate and cause a chimney fire, according to the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/frequent-questions-about-wood-burning-appliances#pollution">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency</a>.</p></div>

Q: How effective are wood-burning stoves?

• <div><p>Modern wood-burning stoves are very effective, reaching around 80% efficiency. That&rsquo;s because models built after 1988 are designed to meet standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to operate more efficiently and produce less air pollution. If you have an older wood stove, it may not be as efficient.</p></div>

Q: Should you block both the top and bottom of your chimney?

• <div><p>You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.</p></div>

Fixed drywall spot and frame on front door and then I asked him to look at some vents that were cracked and crumbling. He cleaned out the wasp nest and replaced the vents. Excellent work!
