Wood Burning Insert

If you have an existing chimney system but your existing fireplace needs work, your best bet is to have a wood burning insert installed into your fireplace. A wood burning insert is installed into your existing firebox. It is smaller than your existing firebox, and it is made of a fireproof box surrounded by metal sides. This makes the fireplace more efficient than your existing fireplace because the heat is trapped by the sides. Many wood burning inserts also have blowers, which push the warm air back into the room. This makes your fireplace more efficient, which save you money.

Wood Stove

If you aren’t completely fixed on the idea of keeping your fireplace, another option is to buy a wood burning stove. This is a great option for many reasons. First, a wood burning stove allows you to have the experience of a burning fire, the aroma, the sound, the mesmerizing jumping of the flames. Second, you can use your existing chimney as a venting system for your wood burning stove. You need to make sure that the vent opening in the stove is the same size as the flue of your chimney. Wood burning stoves come with factory built venting systems, this means they can be placed anywhere as long as you can properly vent it.

Have Your New System Installed by Professionals

No matter which option you choose, it’s best to have a professional take care of the installation. The professional staff at Chim Cheroo Chimney Service are Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified, and we are also members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild. We know how to properly vent your new appliance so your family is safe and enjoy the relaxation and comfort of a wood fire all winter long!

We Carry Reputable Brands Such as Osburn and Regency

There are times when it’s fine to buy off-brand products. Store brand cereals can be just fine. If you need a watch for everyday wear, it’s probably okay to buy a discount store brand. Some people lose their sunglasses a lot, and buying several pairs of cheap sunglasses just makes sense. But there are products that it’s better to just go ahead and get the best quality available. If you want a car that’s going to last, buy quality. The same can be true for furniture or carpeting for your home. Quality lasts.

Did you know that if your wood stove or fireplace isn’t working efficiently, creosote will build up more quickly? Creosote, that nasty substance that builds up as smoke is released from your wood fire, builds upon the interior of your chimney the more you use your fireplace or wood stove. This is an extremely flammable substance that at even as little as an eighth of an inch of buildup can catch stray embers from your fire and cause a dangerous chimney fire. If you believe that your fireplace system needs an update, give Chim Cheroo Chimney Service Inc a call today at 419-752-2231.
