WOOD

For some people, a fire is not a fire if it is not fueled with wood. If you love the sensory experience of your traditional masonry fireplace but are disappointed with its low energy efficiency and poor performance, a new wood stove is perfect for you. You will find a wide variety of EPA-certified models from well-known brands like RSF, Regency, and Hampton that burn longer, hotter, and cleaner fires. You will get more heat with less firewood, which saves you both money and energy. Once you have found the right size and style, Chim Cheree The Chimney Specialists will professionally install your stove and ensure that all steps are followed so that it will function efficiently and safely for years to come.

GAS

While a wood stove can be an energy efficient heating option, it does require routine maintenance chores such as bringing in firewood from outside and sweeping up ashes after a fire. If you are looking for a convenient, easy, and economical way to give your home supplemental heat, you may want to consider adding a gas stove. We know you will love being able to get a cozy fire started from your couch by pushing a button on a remote control device. You will also love decreasing your heating costs and increasing energy efficiency in your home.
