"Josh and his crew came out yesterday and installed a Mitsubishi heat pump. They did a fantastic job and figured out how to run everything that is needed out to the main outside unit in a way that was much better than I had thought of. They are real professionals around this. They could not have been better, professional and you can trust that your satisfaction is their first and foremost consideration.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or “green wood,” should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it’s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.

Some disadvantages of a wood-burning stove include the heating time, which can take about an hour before a cold stove is warm enough to feel any heat, and fuel sourcing. Homeowners with wood stoves must chop or buy their firewood and store it properly to fuel the wood stove.

An outdoor wood furnace might be worth it, depending on your situation. For example, if you can easily (and affordably) acquire wood to burn, then an outside furnace could make sense. Investing in an outdoor furnace might also be worth it if you live in a rural area without a reliable energy source.

You shouldn’t remove a fireplace yourself. Before beginning this job, you’d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you’d need help from a structural engineer. Plus, fireplace removals require permits and often involve working with gas lines or electricity, which can be dangerous. For all of these reasons, it’s best to hire a pro for this project.

Yes, you should cap unused chimneys to prevent damage caused by invasive critters, downdrafts, and moisture build-up. This method of capping a locked-off chimney will properly secure the structure and help maintain its integrity for years to come. Consult a chimney professional about the best type of chimney or flue cap to add to your chimney.
