Gas Fireplace Inserts
Gas Fireplace Inserts – Older wood fireplaces are often inefficient, drafty, and wasteful, and require a lot of maintenance. For many busy homeowners, the work and waste involved make old wood-burning fireplaces impossible to really enjoy, which is why so many are switching to gas. Gas fireplace inserts make conversion easy and affordable, and here at Jiminy Chimney, we’re proud to offer the best selection out there. Some of the brands we carry are Majestic, Valor, Heatilator, Napoleon, and White Mountain Hearth.
Chimney & fireplace repairs
Are you seeing falling or loosening bricks on your chimney? Are cracks showing up in the mortar joints of your fireplace or chimney? Has your firebox developed holes and gaps? Water damage, chimney fires, poor installation, and improper care can all lead to deteriorating masonry work, smoke problems, chimney leaks, and other fireplace and chimney issues. Leaving the problem unaddressed only further exacerbates the problem, resulting in more costly, time-consuming repairs. But those of us here at Jiminy Chimney can help.
Chimney cleaning
Whether you have a wood stove, a gas insert, or an oil appliance, regular chimney cleanings should be a part of your home maintenance plan. Why? No matter what fuel you rely on, byproducts can build up and obstruct your chimney and your risk of chimney fire can increase. But a dirty chimney isn’t just dangerous, it’s inefficient and can interfere with the overall enjoyment of your fireside experience. Not sure if it’s time to schedule your next chimney cleaning? Request an inspection! Our technicians will perform a thorough video scan inspection of your chimney system and let you know if there is soot and creosote buildup caked along your flue walls, smoke shelf, and firebox.
