By using fireplaceiq.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
The site is information, not professional advice
FireplaceIQ publishes general information about fireplaces, stoves, chimneys, and home heating: cost guides, comparisons, calculators, and troubleshooting articles. It is educational content, not professional advice for your specific home.
Read this part twice. Fireplaces involve fire, gas, electricity, and carbon monoxide. Mistakes can burn your house down or kill people quietly. Before you install, convert, repair, or modify any fireplace, stove, gas line, or chimney:
- Hire a licensed professional for gas and electrical work. In most places this is also the law.
- Have chimneys inspected by a CSIA-certified sweep.
- Follow your local building codes and your manufacturer’s manual over anything you read here.
Our cost figures are estimates compiled from retailer prices, published quotes, and public data. Your real quote will differ. Our calculators produce estimates, not engineering specifications.
No warranty and limitation of liability
The site is provided “as is”. We work to keep content accurate and current (see our Editorial Policy), but we make no warranty that any information is complete, current, or fit for your situation. To the maximum extent allowed by law, FireplaceIQ and its owner are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
Affiliate links and ads
The site earns money through display ads and affiliate commissions. This is disclosed in detail on the Affiliate Disclosure page. Ads and affiliate relationships do not change what we recommend.
Intellectual property
The articles, calculators, tables, and images on this site belong to FireplaceIQ unless credited otherwise. You may quote short excerpts with a link back. You may not republish full articles, scrape the site into a dataset for republication, or pass our compiled data off as your own.
