Local chimney and fireplace service for Haralson Estates

Not sure what kind of fireplace you have? That is a fair question in Haralson Estates, an official Orlando neighborhood, and it is the right place to start, because a masonry fireplace, a factory-built wood fireplace, a gas appliance and an electric unit each need different service and different parts. You do not need to know the answer before you call.

We work it out on the visit. There are a few clues you can look for. A masonry fireplace has a firebox lined with firebrick and a chimney built of brick or block, sometimes finished with stucco. A factory-built fireplace has a metal body with refractory panels that look like brick but are molded in sections, a metal chimney pipe inside a framed chase and a rating plate naming the manufacturer.

A gas fireplace has a burner, logs or media and a switch or remote, and may have a sealed glass front. An electric unit plugs in and has no chimney at all. Why it matters: repairs to factory-built units must use parts listed by their maker, so a panel or cap from another brand is not a substitute.

Masonry repairs use firebrick, refractory mortar and masonry materials suited to the job. Gas appliances follow their own manuals for service and parts. Guessing wrong can mean the wrong part ordered, a repair that does not hold or a safety feature bypassed. Have any paperwork handy: the owner's manual, the home's sale documents or a past inspection report.

Do not remove panels or grilles to look for labels. Our technicians identify the unit, explain what it is in plain terms and tell you what service it needs now, if any. We are a local, family-owned company, and your Haralson Estates visit starts with a free inspection. The estimate lists every recommendation with its own price, and any service booked within 72 hours after the inspection is 10% off. We stand behind the work with a workmanship warranty.
