We Service Two Main Types of Fireplaces

1. Wood Fireplaces

Wood-burning fireplaces offer a classic look and sound. Many homeowners enjoy the smell of burning logs and the ambiance that only a wood fire provides. These systems require regular cleaning and inspections due to ash buildup, creosote deposits, and chimney safety concerns.

2. Gas Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces provide consistent heat at the push of a button. They are clean-burning and low-maintenance. Gas models can be vented or vent-free and are available in a wide range of styles. Though easier to maintain than wood fireplaces, gas systems still require inspections to ensure safe operation.

At Brandt Heating, Air Conditioning, Fire & Stone, we specialize in both types and offer a full range of services from installation to yearly maintenance.

Fireplace Installation in Hermann, MO

If you’re adding a new fireplace or replacing an older model, our team can handle the complete installation process. We install both wood-burning fireplaces and gas fireplace systems.

Wood Fireplace Installation

Wood fireplaces require proper design and planning. We help choose a firebox, chimney, and ventilation system that fit your home’s layout and heating needs. We make sure your installation meets all safety codes and includes a fireproof hearth and surrounding materials.

Gas Fireplace Installation

Gas fireplaces require a connection to a natural gas or propane line. We install direct-vent, vent-free, and gas inserts depending on your home’s setup. Our team ensures every connection is secure, the flame burns clean, and all safety controls work properly before we finish the job.

Each installation includes full testing and clear instructions on safe use.

Annual Fireplace Maintenance and Cleaning

Routine maintenance helps extend the life of your fireplace and keeps your home safe. At Brandt Heating, Air Conditioning, Fire & Stone, we offer full maintenance services for both wood and gas fireplaces.

Wood Fireplace Maintenance:

• Chimney inspection and creosote removal

• Ash and debris cleaning

• Firebox and damper inspection

• Check for animal nests or blockages

• Masonry inspection for cracks or wear

Creosote is highly flammable and must be removed regularly. For safety, wood-burning fireplaces should be cleaned and inspected once per year—especially before winter use.

Gas Fireplace Maintenance:

• Clean burner and pilot assembly

• Check ignition system

• Test safety shut-off features

• Inspect vent pipes and airflow

• Clean glass and exterior components

Even if your gas fireplace works well, yearly inspections help identify issues before they become safety risks.

Fireplace Upgrades and Conversions

Brandt Heating, Air Conditioning, Fire & Stone also helps homeowners improve or convert their fireplace system. Whether you want a more efficient model or a cleaner way to heat, we can guide you through your options.

Convert Wood to Gas

Many homeowners in Hermann choose to convert from wood to gas for the added convenience. Gas fireplace inserts and gas log sets make this possible while keeping the appearance of a real fire. These systems eliminate the need for firewood, ash cleanup, or chimney sweeping.

Install Fireplace Inserts

Fireplace inserts improve heat output and reduce energy waste. We install both wood-burning and gas inserts into existing fireplaces. Inserts help your system burn more efficiently while maintaining the style you prefer.

We help you compare models and choose a system that matches your needs and budget.
