"These guys are amazing 👏. They accomodated an emergency request for a new furnace and heatpump system, pricing was not only competitive, but frankly a better deal overall. They were communicative, punctual, thorough, friendly, and I wish I had hired them the first round for our other home. Glad we found them!"

"They didn't seem interested in repairing my furnace. All they wanted to do was sell me a new furnace. The demeanor of the technician, Nicholas, changed to argumentative and belligerent when I said I was not buying a new furnace. When I tried to complain to the manager, he became argumentative as well. He did return the diagnostic fee after I told him I was getting a 2nd opinion."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.

In some aspects, yes, new wood stoves are better than old ones. For example, today’s EPA emission limits for wood-burning stoves are much lower than they were several decades ago. Stoves that meet these stricter standards produce less air pollution, reduce fire risks, and decrease your risk of inhaling harmful particles.

Compared to certain types of firewood like pine or spruce—which burn off sticky resin contained within the wood that creates lots of smoke—elm isn’t the worst option for burning in a fireplace.

Because elm wood is dense, it burns at a moderate pace and does a pretty good job of keeping your home warm. Hardwood like maple or oak may perform slightly better, but elm isn’t a bad choice overall.

A chimney sweep costs $130 to $380, with an average price of about $255. It’s important to schedule a chimney cleaning—and inspection—annually, preferably before you start using your fireplace. A chimney sweep will clean the entire flue, scraping off creosote, dirt, and other debris.

The answer can vary widely based on a home's age and design. As with any type of remodeling project, assume that every structure is load-bearing until confirming otherwise with a structural engineer. Almost all modern homes have chimneys that are fully independent from the rest of the home's framing. As a result, they don't bear any load beyond their own weight. However, many historic homes built prior to the 1900s contain load-bearing chimneys that tie into the surrounding roof and floor joists. If possible, use a home's blueprints or look for chimney connections that indicate load-bearing qualities to get your answer.
