"I called yesterday and got an appointment today! I felt Dustin was efficient, with clear communication and honesty. Dustin explained what needed to be done, showed me pictures so I feel like my log cabin home will be safer and warmer once he completes the work. 19 year old Fireplace insert has done its job! Can’t wait till he does the work ! We are ecstatic with Dustin’s service and added our gas fireplace for job # 2!"

"James is the best!! This is the first major project that my husband and I have undertaken and we were pretty nervous about it â until we met James. I got estimates from several companies before I found James and each one told me I would have to have different people do the tile, drywall and fireplace work. And then James came in and told me he could do it all . . . and he did!! The entire project only took 2 weeks start to finish and the disruption to our home was minimal, even though it snowed a few times and we had quite a bit of ice. My husband and I were impressed with Jamesâ professionalism, his technical skills and his amazing people skills. On more than one occasion, I questioned whether something would work out and James patiently explained how it was going to be the best option and reassured me that it would also look great, and it always did! I also want to mention the great â back officeâ support from Michelle Chambers, who was as awesome as her wonderful husband! I will be proudly recommending James Chambers to everyone I know!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Running a gas fireplace costs approximately $0.35 per hour for natural gas and $0.62 per hour for propane, though these figures can vary significantly based on fuel prices in your area. On average, the annual cost to run a gas fireplace is between $400 and $640. The exact impact on your utility bill depends on several factors, including how often you use it, the size of the room you're heating, and the fireplace's BTU rating. Some models with a constantly running pilot light will consume a minimal amount of energy even when off, although many modern fireplaces do not require one. If you are looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider an electric fireplace.

In many cases, it is worth repairing an old fireplace. You can repair any portion of the fireplace, and even extensive repairs will usually cost less than a full replacement. Most fireplace repairs cost around $600 and top out around $2,500. Replacing your fireplace will cost around $2,500 and reach as high as $4,000. Not only will fireplace repair save you money in most cases, but the process is also much less invasive and time-consuming, so you’ll only have to set aside one day to be home for the work rather than multiple days.

Yes. It’s okay to leave a pellet stove on overnight, and these stoves can provide 24 to 48 hours of warmth from one ignition. However, you should practice proper pellet stove maintenance, like cleaning the burn pot before each use, deep cleaning the unit at least once per year, and running the fan when the stove is lit.

Chimneys should either be sealed or waterproofed, which is different from sealing off—closing at both ends—a chimney. Waterproofing and sealing are both crucial steps to take to prevent water damage and the chimney leaking inside the house. While waterproofing is more comprehensive, both help safeguard your chimney, extending its life span and preventing expensive repairs. 

Some of the reasons a chimney damper won't close properly include shoddy installation, age-related damage, or heavy snow or ice affecting a top-sealing type. Poor chimney maintenance and a buildup of rust, debris, or creosote can also cause dampers to jam. Annual inspections and chimney sweep costs are worth it to help you avoid a damper disaster.
