FAQs

Service and Repair of Wood, Gas or Pellet Stoves and Fireplaces and All Chimney Types:

We can service any brand that we sell, and most other brands of appliances as well.

Pellet Appliances should be professionally serviced annually (check your manual) and most pellet manufacturers strongly recommend that the service be done by someone who is NFI Pellet Certified. Both Mark and David are NFI Master Hearth Professionals, which means they carry all 3 certifications - gas, wood and pellet.

Wood Stoves, Inserts and Fireplaces: We can repair wood stoves and inserts (doors, glass, gaskets, firebrick), we can also repair fireplaces using the Ahrens Fireplace Restoration System.

Gas Appliances in NH or ME can only be serviced by a licensed technician. We maintain the appropriate licenses in both states.

Oil Burners, we can not service the oil burner itself, however we work on oil burner chimneys and install liners for them. (Your oil burner service technician does not work on chimneys.) Oil flues do need maintenance, soot can build up and block the draft, pieces of clay flue tile or bricks can fall down and cause problems as well. If oil flues are not drafting properly, or if there are even tiny cracks or gaps in the chimney, they can allow carbon monoxide back into your home. A large number of our emergency service calls are not chimney fire related, they are broken or clogged oil flues that are causing CO poisoning.

Damaged Chimneys should be inspected as soon as possible. Chimney damage can cause all sorts of problems, from smoke backing up into the room, or water leakage to causing chimney/home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. If the damage was caused by a specific incident (lightening strike, chimney fire, ice damming) your homeowners insurance may cover part or all of the costs of repairs. And we will work with you and your agent to get the repairs you need.
