WTF? Apparently the Tennant had some nazi Germany periphinalia lying next to the fireplace because he was doing research for his show. The owner or employee had no problem inspecting the chimney after seeing it, what he should have done if he was so offended was LEAVE. I should have been notified. It could have been explained and I definitely should not have been charged. These people knew full well that I would have to pay for another inspection because they were supposed to also do the repairs. Phoney Christians make me sick to my stomach. They convince themselves they are holier than though good people but what they really are are judge mental frauds. DO NOT HIRE THESE POEPLE THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General so it's on record. Buyer beware.

Mary and Vernon are CON ARTISTS. Charged me for an inspection when chimney was so dirty nothing…read morecould be inspected properly. Told me first time I called that regardless the chimney had to be cleaned in order to inspect but that is not what happened. They forgot about my appointment for over a month & Vernon told me he would be inspecting my chimney but sent his son out instead. No photographs were taken for the inspection. Paid another company to come out and they told me I got ripped off, said it was one of the dirtiest chimneys they had ever come across & stated that a chimney cannot be inspected until it is clean. No photos, no video, just a bill for $300 for NOTHING. Mary is rude & hostile over the phone, hung up on me twice, huffed/puffed & reprimanded me for this and that. A bunch of CROOKS in the Bible Belt of Springfield MO. I have been ripped off by so many companies in this town, shame on Springfield MO.

Therefore, you are not actually using Dr. Flue, and pricing and other items on their website does not apply. The company that came to clean and repair my chimney did a good job cleaning my chimney.

He came out quickly and got me done efficiently and the quality of work was excellent. Even took time to give me tips and tricks.

I had Firelight come out for an unusual reason: to determine if the masonry monstrosity in the…read morecenter of my home was an original thermal mass heating system, and IF SO, to check the chimney to determine if it is safe to use the firebox in the basement. I found the company to be very professional, all the way from first contact, several calls to schedule, and through to to arrival. The tech was on time and followed instructions to call 5-minutes out so I could corral my protective German Shepherd. The tech was impressively knowledgeable about ancient heating systems, and did a thorough inspection of the masonry and mortar on all three floors and gave me wise advice, which I very much appreciated. I was surprised the tech knew about thermal mass heating that was common in the 1800's to about the mid 1920's. I think he enjoyed getting an unusual service call. Nothing was broken, I just needed confirmation of my suspicion, a chimney/mortar inspection, and advice on safety. I had them do a full inspection on this...monstrosity. Note there is NO FIREPLACE--there has never been one, but there IS a firebox and clean out in the BASEMENT! SEE PHOTOS and descriptions for details. Turns out--this thing IS an original heating system from 1920. Thermal Mass. It was used by building a small hot fire in the basement firebox, load some coal, and let it go. The heat is captured in the brick and held like a battery, released over time. The main floor section is a SOLID MASS OF BRICK. There was never a fireplace there. When the fire burns down, the warm bricks give off heat on the main floor for 8-10 more hours. Thermal Mass Heating. --Rightly, I was advised it's not a good idea to use it, but in case of an emergency... I could. It will still work as intended and the chimney is safe for occasional emergency use. --Later, in the 1940's, someone tied into the flue on the main floor for a wood stove, then in the 1960's that was closed off when natural gas was installed, along with cast iron baseboards--heated by a gas boiler. Hydronic heat via cast iron baseboards is the Best Heat Ever. No blowing air. Just Warm, Penetrating Deep Warmth. Hydronic Radiant Heat heats OBJECTS, not air. THANK YOU FUSE!!!

Lakeside Chimney was a great choice! We initially went with…read morea popular chimney company from around Springfield because it was who our General Contractor used. What a nightmare! They replaced our old chase cover with one that was so flat that it had puddles on it after it rained. They drilled rusty screws down through the TOP of the chase cover to fasten it, instead of stainless screws in the side. Then they put a booger gob of caulking on them to try to seal them. Then they got crazy with the caulking and tried sealing the chimney collar to the chase cover, which defeats the purpose of the collar to allow air flow. Somewhere between all of their installation errors, they defeated the very purpose they were hired for, which was to stop the chimney from leaking in our garage!!! Brandon and Caleb from Lakeside Chimney did an excellent job on our chimney! Even our General Contactor was asking for their business card.
