Fireplaces in Hinsdale Homes
Many older Hinsdale homes were built with wood-burning fireplaces, and many owners have converted them to gas.
Gas Logs in Masonry Fireplaces
Vented gas logs need the damper held partly open with a clamp at all times.
Inserts and Direct-Vent Units
Sealed units vent through a liner or the wall and are more efficient.
Chimney Condition Matters
We handle the gas side. If the chimney needs work, we'll point you to a specialist.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Every home with a gas fireplace needs working detectors.
Outdoor Fireplaces
Gas fireplaces and fire pits on the patio need lines sized and protected for outdoor use.
