South Orange chimney service from a local family company

A brand-new home with a fireplace still needs a first check, and in South Orange, a neighborhood the City of Orlando lists officially, the months after closing are the right time to set up the fireplace's records and learn how it works. New construction fireplaces are usually factory-built wood or gas units, and they come with manuals, rating plates and manufacturer requirements that are easy to lose in the move.

Start with the paperwork. Find the fireplace's owner's manual and installation manual, often left in a drawer, a kitchen cabinet or the builder's closing folder. Note the model and serial number from the rating plate. Some manufacturers offer product registration, and registering the fireplace with them can matter if a warranty question comes up later.

If nothing was left behind, the model number lets our technicians find the manuals. A first visit then checks that everything matches those documents. For a gas unit, we look at the burner, pilot, logs or media placement, glass and gasket, the controls and the vent termination outside, including its clearances from windows and doors.

For a wood unit, we check the chimney pipe, chase top, cap, damper and firebox panels. New homes are built fast, and occasionally a detail is missed, such as a log set not placed to the diagram or a termination too close to a window. We tell you if we find anything like that, in writing.

We also show you how to use it: lighting or switching on, what the controls do, how to clean the glass safely and what the manual says about first use, since new units can give off an odor the first few times as materials cure. Our family owned and operated company does the South Orange first visit free, and any service is quoted before we start.

A booking made within 72 hours after the free inspection gets 10% off, and our work is 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
