Questions and Answers

Why is an annual furnace inspection important for Des Moines homes, and what do you check for?

Given Iowa's cold winters and the carbon monoxide risks associated with older furnaces, an annual inspection is crucial for safety and efficiency. Our Des Moines technicians perform a comprehensive check, including testing for CO leaks, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, ensuring proper venting, and cleaning critical components. This proactive service helps prevent hazardous situations and keeps your heating system running reliably when you need it most.

We're considering converting our wood-burning fireplace to gas. Is this a good option for central Iowa, and what does the process involve?

A gas fireplace conversion is a popular choice in Des Moines for its convenience, cleanliness, and improved heating efficiency. The process typically involves installing a gas line, adding a gas log set or insert, and ensuring proper ventilation. Our team handles everything from the initial inspection of your existing chimney to the final safety check, providing you with instant, controllable heat and eliminating the mess of wood ash—a great upgrade for many local homes.

What are the signs that my fireplace or insert might need repair, and can a damaged one be a safety risk?

Common signs include difficulty starting a fire, unusual smoke entering the room, a persistent smoky smell, or visible cracks in the firebox or chimney liner. In the Des Moines area, these issues can pose serious risks, including carbon monoxide intrusion and chimney fires. We recommend scheduling a professional fireplace inspection and repair at the first sign of trouble. Our experts can diagnose problems with dampers, seals, liners, and inserts to restore safe, efficient operation.
