About this service

Using the right wood is the easiest way to keep your fireplace running cleanly. Always aim for seasoned hardwood, such as oak, maple, or ash, which has been dried for at least a year. Avoid burning softwoods or unseasoned wood, as these create excess creosote buildup in your chimney. You need to ensure your wood has a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, to get the most heat output and keep your glass doors clear of soot.

Since most people avoid thinking about heat, scheduling your repairs or upgrades now helps you avoid the autumn rush. You can get your fireplace serviced comfortably while your system is idle, ensuring everything is in top shape for when the first chill arrives. Licensed, insured pros serve your area — call now for a free estimate.
