Went great. Original appointment had to be rescheduled due to weather, but they quickly set a new date and time for us and were on time and did a great job. Made some suggestions for upgrading our fireplace that would make it more efficient for heating if we wanted.

They said they couldn't fix the problem without a costly replacement of the entire log and burner system. Overall, they weren't worth the money.

The owner of the company thoroughly inspected our chimney both from inside the house and from outside on the roof. He wrote a complete assessment of the chimney and said it was in good condition. He gave us a tip how to take care of this fireplace. He did all of this for us at no charge.

Great. The fireplace was repaired and works. There was no additional charge for the repair as I had purchased a coupon.
Description of Work: My gas fireplace logs lighting was sporadic. I thought something was wrong with the unit. They checked and cleaned the unit per the coupon I used and the fireplace is lighting beautifully. I will contact them again if it breaks down as it is a very old unit. Good service and great advice.

Well, it’s my fault for buying an Angie’s list deal for something we couldn’t use. The service man was professional though. We paid $40 and then the balance for a tune-up. But really it was a consultation. The gas log in our new house was broken and could not be tuned up.
Description of Work: We hired them for a glass log tune-up but we didn’t have a working gas log.

Actually needed to replace all pipe work. The wood burning stove hits much better and the fires are much easier to start. Will have cleaning completed annually in the spring as recommended.

The cleaning went well. Unfortunately, the technician removed all of the glowing ember material and forgot to replace it, but we did not notice until after his departure. After calling them back to discuss, they acknowledged the oversight and scheduled a return visit to install some new ember material. Also, the pilot light spark igniter does not always light the pilot. Instead of attempting to correct, the technician used a manual lighter to ignite the pilot. As part of the tuneup, I expected the technician to diagnose any issues, provide an estimate to correct, and give us the option to have that additional work done. The technician did not attempt to diagnose, but rather found a temporary workaround, that I'm not necessarily interested in doing every time I want to ignite the pilot light.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. I apologise for the inconvenience of the ignitor. The problem lies in the vent free system. If the ignitor starts to go bad, you must use the same part to replace it. Unfortunately we have limited access to most replacement parts for vent free systems which means the only option we can give is to replace the system. If you would like, we can try to find the replacement part for vent free system. Please provide us with make and model of the unit and where they were purchased, then we can do some research for you.

I have used Kicking Ash twice for sweeping and also for parging the smoke chamber. The technicians are very knowledgeable and personable. They know their stuff and give you options of how to best repair and maintain the fireplace. It is amazing how many folks pass up a $100 chimney sweep annually and end up having costly repairs down the road. Using Kicking Ash is money well spent. Call or email in advance to get the best scheduling. At busy times, email response can be a bit slow.
