We’ve been driving to Farragut since before the Turkey Creek shopping district existed, back when Campbell Station Road was still two lanes through open fields. Russell Haines started this company in 1984, and our technicians know the difference between a 1987 built-in zero-clearance unit in Fox Run and a 1995 conversion in Windsor Park. Farragut’s not Knoxville, and it’s not Lenoir City. The fireplace problems here are specific to a town that grew fast with prefabricated systems that are now aging out together. That’s why local expertise matters. When you call us, you’re not explaining your chase cover or your damper to someone reading from a generic script.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Farragut’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Farragut homeowners tend to stay put. The subdivisions off Concord Road and Northshore Drive were built for executives who planned to raise families and retire in the same house. We understand that mindset because we share it. Hearthstone Chimney Co. has served this region for over 42 years, and we plan to be here when those same homes need their second round of fireplace work.
Our reputation in Farragut was built one appointment at a time, mostly by word of mouth across neighborhood email lists and church bulletins. Customers mention our Fireplace Services team by name when they refer us to neighbors. We’re not the cheapest option, and we don’t try to be. We’re the option where the technician shows up in a clean uniform, explains what he found in plain English, and leaves photos you can actually see.
Response time to Farragut is typically same-day or next-day for standard calls, and we keep common prefab parts in stock because we know the brands that were installed here in the 1990s. Emergency calls get priority dispatch. When ice storms hit East Tennessee and your gas fireplace won’t light, you don’t want a callback queue. You want a live person who can send someone today.
Our Fireplace Services in Farragut
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplace service in Farragut runs $180-$320 for standard tune-ups, and $350-$650 if we’re replacing a valve, thermopile, or running new flex line. Many Farragut homes along Bob Gray Road and the Lovell Road corridor had wood-burning prefab units converted to gas logs in the 2000s. Those conversions are now 15-20 years old, and the original gas valves are failing. We inspect the entire system, check for proper draft with the damper locked open, and test for gas leaks with electronic detection. If your pilot won’t stay lit or the burner pattern is uneven, we’ll tell you exactly why and show you the part.
Wood Burning Fireplace
Wood burning fireplace inspection and repair in Farragut costs $220-$480 for firebox panel replacement, and $150-$280 for damper repair or replacement. The persistent humidity off Fort Loudoun Lake accelerates rust on metal chase covers and prefabricated fireboxes in ways you don’t see in drier parts of East Tennessee. We regularly find cracked refractory panels in homes near the lakefront, where moisture infiltration has weakened the factory-built enclosure. Before you burn another season, schedule Farragut Chimney Cleaning & Sweep and we’ll inspect the panels, the smoke shelf, and the chase cover with a Level-2 camera so you know what’s sound and what isn’t.
Fireplace Insert
Fireplace insert installation in Farragut ranges from $2,800-$4,500 for a direct-vent gas insert, and $3,200-$5,200 for a wood-burning insert with liner. Farragut’s large homes often have two or more fireplaces, and homeowners who actually use them are tired of sending heat up a metal chase. A properly sized insert transforms an inefficient prefab box into a legitimate heat source. We measure your existing firebox, confirm clearances to combustibles, and run a flexible stainless liner if needed. Most installs are completed in a single day, and we handle the gas line connection or wood framing as part of the job.
Damper Repair
Damper repair in Farragut typically costs $180-$340 for a top-mount damper replacement, and $220-$380 for a throat damper repair or replacement. The dampers in Farragut’s 1990s prefab units are particularly prone to warping and rust seizure because of the humidity cycling through those metal chases. A stuck-open damper in winter costs you money. A stuck-closed damper is a safety hazard. For Chimney Repair in Farragut, we’ll assess whether your damper can be repaired or needs replacement, and we’ll show you the difference on camera before you decide.
Trusted Brands We Service in Farragut
We stock parts and materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney because these are the brands that hold up in Farragut’s climate. HeatShield’s cerfractory resurfacing product handles the thermal cycling in aging prefab fireboxes better than generic refractory cement. Gelco chase covers come in stainless and copper options that outlast the galvanized steel originals by decades. Olympia Chimney’s flexible liners are what we run for insert installations when the factory chase needs a proper vent path. We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to hit a lower price point. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means we’re coming back if something fails, so we install what we trust the first time.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Farragut Homes
- Rust-eaten chase covers on Northshore Drive lakefront homes. The metal chase covers on 1990s prefab units weren’t designed for decades of Fort Loudoun Lake humidity. We replace them with stainless or copper Gelco covers that won’t rot through.
- Heat-fatigued firebox panels in converted gas-log units. A large share of Farragut’s 1990s homes had original wood-burning prefabs converted to gas. When homeowners want to return to wood, the original panels are often cracked and non-compliant. We inspect before any conversion and replace panels with factory-rated refractory.
- Failed gas valves in Fox Run and Windsor Park conversions. Those 2000s gas log conversions are hitting end-of-life on valves and thermopiles. We carry common replacement parts and can usually restore operation same-day.
- Damper seizure after humid summers. East Tennessee’s humidity swells and corrodes metal damper mechanisms. We see this every September when temperatures drop and homeowners try to open dampers that haven’t moved since March.
