Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Fullerton’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company

We know the shallow-pitched ranch rooflines that collect ice along MacArthur Road, the original brick chimneys in the Fullerton Heights neighborhood with no clay tile liner, and the freeze-thaw punishment that Lehigh Valley winters deliver between South Mountain and Blue Mountain. That local knowledge changes what we look for - and what we find.

Our Fireplace Services in Fullerton

Gas Fireplace Service

Gas fireplaces in Fullerton often run into a problem the homeowner can’t see: the chimney they vent into was never designed for them. Many Fullerton homes converted from coal or oil heating to gas inserts without properly resizing the flue. We inspect the burner assembly, check gas pressure and venting, and run a camera to confirm the flue matches the appliance. If you’re in a ranch off Schoenersville Road or a cape cod near the Fullerton Fire Company, we’ve likely serviced a home with your exact chimney profile.

Wood Burning Fireplace

Wood burning in a Fullerton chimney demands a flue sized correctly for the appliance and free of deteriorated clay tile. The acidic condensate from decades of oil-fired heating eats clay liners from the inside out, leaving gaps and spalling that wood-stove exhaust will exploit. We sweep, camera-inspect, and give you a plain verdict on whether your flue is sound - or whether it needs relining with professional-grade materials before you light another fire.

Fireplace Insert

This is where Fullerton’s housing stock creates the most invisible danger. A gas or wood insert dropped into a wide, rectangular coal-era flue with an undersized flexible liner stuffed down the middle leaves a gap that collects creosote and traps moisture. From the firebox, it looks fine. Our camera shows the truth. We size the liner correctly to the appliance, using HeatShield or DuraFlex where appropriate, and we document the before and after so you understand exactly what was wrong and what we fixed.

Damper Repair

Fullerton’s freeze-thaw cycles warp and corrode dampers faster than in more temperate zones. A stuck or rusted damper wastes heat, invites drafts down your flue, and can prevent proper draft when you do want a fire. We repair or replace throat and top-sealing dampers, including Gelco and Olympia Chimney hardware sized to your flue. If the damper is seized in a home that’s sat vacant through a Lehigh Valley winter, we’ll get it moving or get it replaced - and show you the photo of why it failed.

Firebox Repair

The firebox takes the direct heat, and in Fullerton’s older homes, the refractory panels or brick lining may have decades of thermal cycling behind them. Cracked fireboxes let heat reach combustible framing - a real hazard, not a sales pitch. We assess with a camera and light, quote the repair upfront, and use professional-grade refractory materials. No recommendation without evidence you can see for yourself.

Fireplace Conversion

Converting a wood fireplace to gas - or updating an old gas setup - in Fullerton means confronting the flue-sizing question honestly. We do not install an appliance into a chimney we haven’t camera-inspected. The conversion is quoted completely, with the flue work included if needed, and documented with photos. Done right - and we stand behind it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fullerton

We stock and install professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco - brands we trust because they’ve held up in Lehigh Valley conditions. Our Philadelphia warehouse keeps common parts and liner sizes on hand, so Fullerton customers aren’t waiting on backorders while burning season slips away. We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to hit a price point. The brands we use are the brands we specify, and the warranty runs through us with the 90-Day Done Right Promise behind it.

Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Fullerton Homes

• Retrofitted gas inserts with flexible liners stuffed into oversized, unlined coal or oil flues. The gap between liner and flue wall collects third-degree creosote and traps moisture. It’s invisible from the firebox and undetectable without a camera scan - a failure mode our technicians find repeatedly in Fullerton’s post-WWII housing.
• Spalled mortar joints and loose chimney crowns from Lehigh Valley freeze-thaw cycles. The bowl between South Mountain and Blue Mountain channels cold air and drives hard winter temperature swings. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and pops the face off brick and mortar. Shallow-pitched ranch rooflines make it worse.
• Ice damming on those same ranch rooflines rotting flashing at the chimney base. Fullerton’s compact ranches shed snow slowly. Ice backs up under shingles and finds the chimney flashing. By spring, the wood’s soft and the leak’s inside the wall.
• Appliances vented into stacks never designed for them. Original clay tile liners, deteriorated by decades of acidic oil-flue condensate, are now asked to handle a wood stove or gas insert they can’t safely contain. The sizing is wrong. The liner is compromised. The homeowner doesn’t know until we show them.
