We are the best gas chimney repair in Knoxville TN because we show up, provide an honest opinion of your system and quote a fair price. So often, the biggest challenge in serving the gas chimney is having someone SHOW UP.
There are many times that homeowners told us no one answered a call or showed up after 6 or more calls! That is not right. For many, a gas fireplace is the sole source of heat for their home. With temperatures in east Tennessee routinely in the teens overnight, we must help everyone keep their gas chimney systems working.

We are not showing you this to brag. Actually, we are so frustrated at the lack of service by so many others in the industry. Many won’t travel over 30 miles outside of Knoxville TN. Really? With all of the homes in the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, this is not right.
Clear Chimney travels from Cookeville TN to Morristown TN and down to Chattanooga TN. We even go up into Kentucky for special services. We view this as a service to our fellow families. Heating in your home can mean the difference in surviving the winter.
When a winter storm warning is issued, it is too late to clean and inspect the fireplace and chimney for safety issues. Your family relies on the heat and safety of your fire place and chimney. Don’t wait until the harsh winter weather is here.
We get a lot of service calls in the coldest weather. Snow, ice and freezing rain create an urgency in folks to prep for an upcoming storm. Unfortunately, even the best chimney service requests struggle to fill the needs of their customers during a winter storm warning.
If a winter storm warning is issued, what do I do?
If you have concerns about your fireplace and chimney, call your chimney company anyway. They want to help people even in the most trying times. We have worked customers into an appointment after dinner to keep their heating working. Don’t be shy but also be respectful. Demanding and shouting about service when the temperatures are in the teens is not going to get you fast service.
A safety tip – if smoke or fumes are entering your room or home, put out the fire immediately. Carbon monoxide can build up and it is extremely toxic. Call us for service. Even if it is after hours, our system will take your message and forward it. Just do not use the fireplace until we have checked it out.
One of the most frequently asked questions is how expensive is the wood stove to install. Many different factors will determine how expensive is the wood stove to install now. Let’s go over the various parts of determining the wood stove cost.
First, a honest and reliable chimney service company is key. Not every company is experienced in converting a fireplace into a wood stove or installing a wood stove from scratch. These units are heavy. An experienced chimney company has lifts and tools for taking stoves up stairs or other hard to reach areas.
Also, the manufacturer of the stove is critical. We only use around 4 suppliers. These companies make their stoves in the USA. They are decades old companies with quality materials and craftmanship. You can see the various vendors and stove by following our stove store page here.
So how expensive is the wood stove to install?
Wood stove cost for the unit only range from $400 up to $3,000. There is definitely a difference in quality for the price. Less expensive stoves use thinner metal that can warp and not withstand the high heat over time. Inside, the fire brick is very critical. This brick absorbs and keeps the heat inside. A cheaper brick will not hold up. It will chip and need replacing as soon as a year. Don’t cut corners on the price of the stove. View it as an investment.
These units are a work of art as well as a heating source. High gloss outside coatings and the overall design make them a center piece in your room. When you look over our stove store page, you will see various units that fit into your space in a beautiful fashion.
For an average installation with no major structural issues or support work, the total installation of a wood stove cost will be around $5,000 for a budget figure. Like we pointed out earlier, the type and quality of the stove is the main determining factor.
