Know your fireplace
Every hearth asks for something different
Masonry wood fireplace
Masonry wood fireplaces are built into the structure of your home, often with brick or stone. They offer the classic appeal of crackling wood fires and can be a central feature in living spaces. Due to their design, these fireplaces require regular maintenance to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Keep it well
- Have the chimney inspected annually.
- Clean out ashes and residue regularly.
- Check for signs of water damage.
Factory-built fireplace
Factory-built fireplaces are constructed off-site and installed into your home, typically made from metal. They are designed to be more efficient than traditional masonry fireplaces, often requiring less maintenance, but they still need regular cleaning and check-ups.
Keep it well
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions for use and care.
- Have the vents inspected annually.
- Clean regularly to avoid soot buildup.
Wood stove
Wood stoves are standalone units that provide heat through burning wood. They are typically more efficient than open fireplaces and can heat a room quickly. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that the stove functions properly and safely.
Keep it well
- Use only seasoned hardwood.
- Clean the chimney regularly.
- Inspect door seals and gaskets.
Gas fireplace or insert
Gas fireplaces or inserts are a convenient option for homeowners seeking the ambiance of a fireplace without the mess of wood. They are often controlled by remote or wall switch, offering ease of use.
Keep it well
- Schedule annual inspections of gas lines.
- Check the pilot light regularly.
- Keep the glass doors clean.
Furnace and boiler flue
Furnace and boiler flues are essential for venting harmful gases outside your home. These flues need to be checked and maintained regularly to ensure they are not blocked or damaged, which could lead to dangerous gas leaks.
Keep it well
- Have the flue inspected annually.
- Ensure flue is free of debris or blockages.
- Check for rust and corrosion.
