"Brandon cleaned both of my woodstoves/chimneys. He hadn't worked on one of them before (a Swedish stove) and took considerable time and effort before he found the right focus for disassembly. There turned out to be little soot buildup so after the initial delay the cleaning was done quickly and fairly easily. The second was much easier to clean but he was unable to reach the chimney top because of a bend in the chimney, so only half of the chimney got cleaned. The lack of space around the first made it sightly uncomfortable to work but Brandon did not complain. He cleaned out both stoves and vacuumed up before he left. I felt the cost of his work was moderate and really appreciated knowing that a chimney fire was no longer a scary prospect! Brandon did need help with some necessary missing tool items that I was able to provide. I believe he is capable and easy to be with so with his experience here he should meet most woodstove cleaning requirements. John Robins."

Fireplaces FAQs, answered by experts

You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you’re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.

While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.

Some people don’t like the look of gas fireplaces since they don’t offer the classic charm or appeal of a wood-burning fire. Plus, gas fireplace installation is more expensive than other types of fireplace installations due to the added complexity of working with gas lines. There’s also a chance that gas could get into your home, which is a major health and safety risk.

Wood fireplace inserts produce more heat without replacing the whole system. A fireplace installer can verify that you have a connector and chimney system to fit the wood-burning insert.

Gas fireplace inserts require less maintenance and are an efficient way to produce warmth. Some can also produce heat in the event of a power outage.

Electric fireplace inserts don't have a real open flame, so they produce flames that mimic a real fire surrounded by artificial logs with LED light. Many electric fireplace inserts produce heat from glowing elements while only using electricity.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that chimneys and their associated elements like fireplaces, vents, or stoves should be cleaned at least once a year before the start of seasonal use. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a chimney should be cleaned when there is 1/8 inch of soot buildup. If there’s more than that, creosote—a flammable byproduct of burning wood—can form and increase the risk of a chimney fire.
