Chimney and fireplace service for homes in Riverland

Switching your fireplace from wood to gas, or to electric, is a decision worth making with the whole chimney in view. Our family team installs and services all three fuels for homes in Riverland. As a locally owned company, we have no reason to push one over another. We explain what each choice would involve for your fireplace and let you weigh it.

Start with a free inspection of what you have now. We check the firebox, damper, flue and chimney top and tell you what condition they are in. A free written estimate then sets out each option side by side, every one priced upfront. When you commit to a service inside 72 hours of your free inspection, it is billed with 10% off.

Each fuel follows its own rules. Gas logs must be listed for the fireplace they sit in, and vented sets need the damper open while they burn. A gas insert is a listed appliance that usually vents through the chimney with a liner kit made for the model. Both fall under the Florida Building Code's fuel gas rules, and supply piping is a job for a gas contractor.

A wood insert is listed as a solid-fuel room heater, and its manual normally requires a continuous liner. An electric unit needs no flue, only the power supply its manual calls for. Whatever you choose, the chimney top still needs a sound cap and crown. Rain reaches the flue whether or not anything burns below.

Tell us how you use the fireplace now and what you want from it. After the work, we clean up and explain the controls. You receive a written record of the installation and our workmanship warranty.
