How often should I have my fireplace serviced & cleaned? 

You should treat your fireplace similarly to how you treat your car – it’s important to operate it regularly to keep it running smoothly. Just like an annual tune-up, your fireplace will need annual maintenance cleaning once a year. Hamilton Parker offers this fireplace service, which includes us not only cleaning and prepping your fireplace for the winter, but ensuring everything is operating as it should be.

What does Hamilton Parker installation include?

Hamilton Parker’s installation typically breaks down into two separate visits. The first includes the setting and installation of the fireplace box and any venting that it may require. The second will include installing any accessories (gas logs, media, decorative fronts, glass, etc.) and firing the fireplace up. Any plumbing, electrical, framing, or demolition work will be completed by your contractor. Click below to learn more about our services.

What is Hamilton Parkers’ warranty?

Hamilton Parker’s warranty covers parts and labor for installs up to one year after the completion date. Manufacturer warranties will vary by product.
