This was a horrible experience dealing with the owner(Bart) of Advance Chimney Technology. They were hired to remove an old gas fireplace, installed a vented chimney and a new fireplace. They were quick to show up, inspect the property and provide and estimate. They were also quick to require money up front, over $3700. They cashed my check the SAME day, within minutes of giving it to them. The indicated and promised the fireplace to be here within 5 to 7 days. They also claimed to be Regency fireplace dealer. A week went by and I had to call for an update, just to be told they needed to order the fireplace.... many phone calls and weeks later i was told that they received the wrong fireplace. I was told every story in the book about what they were going to do and all about how others made mistakes. They came to the home with the wrong fireplace and took measurements trying to make it work, it was too deep, they order the deep model and not the standard model. Then they wanted more money as the deep one was more expensive. I refused. I had contractors waiting on me as they had delivered product to install and they wanted to be paid, however the fireplace had to be installed first. I asked ACT to install the chimney pieces so others could complete their work and be paid. Again every story in the book, first they said is was not possible, then they had to order a different pipe to make it work, then they were returning the fireplace and would get the new one,.... on and on and on. Finally, ACT showed up with the original fireplace, the wrong one, and managed to install the fireplace, however they did not bring all the parts. I was able to allow other contracts to complete services while I continued to battle with ACT from the remaining parts to the fireplace. Finally, they delivered what was supposed to be the remaining parts, only to find out they never ordered the correct doors we requested. From that point, I have never heard from ACT agin. I had to hire additional contractors to set up the stove, which was nearly impossible as I found it extremely difficult to find a fireplace provider in the first place. Thanks to my stone mason, he knew a guy that installed gas furnaces that came to my home and read through the manual and manage to set up the fireplace, of course at an additionally cost out of my pocket. While we were battling with ACT we contacted Regency corp for help. Their rep called us and stated that they had major trouble with ACT taking people's money and never returning. ACT was stripped of their dealer status and ACT is buy fireplaces illegally from someone in which they could not determine. Their rep also informed me that the county was supposed to inspect my stove to ensure it was safe. By this time, the job was complete and the stove is behind the stone wall. So, I do not know if it is safe. The Regency rep also promised to stop by, but he never lived up to his promises as well, about like ACT. We managed to finally complete our project but had to cancel our family Christmas as our home was torn apart. STAY AWAY from ACT they are thieves and will take your money. STAY AWAY from Regency Fireplace as they do not fulfill their promises either. I even told Regency I wanted to buy the missing doors, but I never heard from them again.

I was surprised that most plumbers would only replace a hot water heater if one was purchased from them. The reason given was that they could not guarantee the hot water heater unless it was purchased through them. When I asked what was the brand name they sold, several of them replied with the exact same brand/model number that I bought through my connections - but they still would not install that same heater. (And surprise surprise, their prices ranged from $230 to $415 more than I paid for the same heater. After talking to four A-rated plumbers in the area, I found F J Hooks who had no problem installing my heater, at a price that was $50 less than their nearest competitor, even those offering an Angie's List discount. They even offered to go to my supplier and pick up the heater for me, but I had already arranged delivery. An appointment was made for two days later. Unfortunately I was unable to keep the appointment and they graciously rescheduled for a few days later - to show up between 10 and 12. At 9:20 on the morning of my appointment, I received a call saying they were on the way. Jesus and his assistant arrived, removed the old heater, installed the new one, and were finished around 11:00. I was told I would receive the bill in the mail. I left on a business trip and returned 17 days later. The bill I received was for $525 - $75 more than I was quoted. And it was due on the day I opened the mail after returning home. I called the office, left a voice mail - and within 10 minutes I received a call back. I was actually in their driveway to drop the check off when the call came in. I went into the office, showed the invoice - and without any dickering, the invoice was reduced to $450 paid in full. Apparently the additional charge came from upgrading from a 42 gallon to a 50 gallon heater. Would I use them again? I'm already looking at projects for them to complete - converting a wood burning fireplace to gas, rerouting a water line for a refrigerator ice maker, installing a new dishwasher and gas stove, etc ?. as $$ become available. They've become my go-to plumbers. Friendly and professional all-the-way.

From across the room that chimney sweep informed us that there is "no way" that chimney should have passed inspection, pointing out a large crack on the back of the fireplace that could only come from burning wood too hot at the rear of the fireplace. He discouraged use of the fireplace until the Fireplace Back Wall was repaired as such could result in the house burning down. Dale White was contacted immediately and asked to repair the damages as we would not have agreed to close on the house without a working fireplace and the bank would not have closed on a house which failed chimney inspection. He promptly replied and attached a copy of Professional Chimney Sweeps invoice which verified that the "fireplace is free of debris and did not need cleaned." The invoice included "comments concerning your chimney and his guarantee is noted at the bottom." Not only did Mr. White appropriately reply via US mail, he or an employee hand-delivered the response so that such was received in a timely manner. On December 31, 2012, we wrote Professional Chimney Sweep enclosing a copy of Mr. White's letter, Mr. McGaffick's own bill, as well as three color photographs which clearly pointed out the extensive damages which he denied seeing. We requested he "reply to this letter within ten business days indicating how Professional Chimney Sweeps proposes to ameliorate this failure on your part prior to our notifying the Better Business Bureau, Angie?s List, the Veterans Administration, and the local media." It has been almost a year and Mr. McGaffick has neither replied to our request or ameliorated his failure. We were forced to repair the fireplace wall at our own expense costing approximately $400. USAA, the bank which closed on our house, was reported regarding the inadequacy and obvious negligence. As a result, the company will no longer accept inspections or repairs provided by either White Signature Homes or Professional Chimney Sweep. Not only did Professional Chimney Sweep's negligence cost us $400 in repairs, but had we not had the foresight to have the chimney cleaned prior to use, we could have lost our house. This is absolutely inexcusable.

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Hayfield, VA
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
