Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Huntington Station’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
Huntington Station isn’t a generic suburb to us. We know the post-war housing stock between 11746, the way salt air off Huntington Harbor chews through chimney crowns faster than it does in more sheltered parts of Suffolk County, and the particular headache of fireplaces that were retrofitted into chimneys originally built for oil furnaces. Our Fireplace Services team has replaced dampers in Elwood Park, rebuilt fireboxes off Pulaski Road, and converted wood-burning units to gas inserts in the ranch neighborhoods south of the LIRR tracks.
Our reviews from Huntington Station homeowners mention the same things repeatedly: we show up when we say we will, we explain what’s actually wrong without talking down to anyone, and we leave the work area cleaner than we found it. Response time to most Huntington Station addresses is under 90 minutes during business hours, and our technicians carry the parts and materials to finish most jobs in a single visit. That’s not an accident. We’ve learned which components fail predictably in this housing stock, and we stock accordingly.
Russell Haines, our owner, still reviews every inspection report before it goes to the homeowner. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job in Huntington Station, in writing, with no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back. That’s how we’ve operated since 1984.
Our Fireplace Services in Huntington Station
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Huntington Station’s 1960s ranches and split-levels often suffer from failed thermopiles, clogged burner ports, and cracked refractory panels - problems made worse when the original installation was a retrofit into a masonry chimney never designed for it. We service standing pilot and electronic ignition systems, replace worn gas valves, and verify venting integrity. Most gas fireplace repairs in Huntington Station run $180-$420. If your pilot won’t stay lit or you’re getting a sulfur smell, that’s a same-day call.
Wood Burning Fireplace
The wood-burning fireplaces in Huntington Station’s older Cape Cods were often added after original construction, tucked into chimneys sized for oil boiler venting. That mismatch creates drafting problems, smoke spillage, and accelerated creosote buildup. We inspect with a Level-2 camera, document what we find with photos you can see, and give you a plain-English verdict. A typical Huntington Station Chimney Cleaning & Sweep and safety inspection is $89 during our seasonal tune-up period. Firebox repairs run $340-$650 when cracks have developed from thermal cycling.
Fireplace Insert
Insert installations are among our most common jobs in Huntington Station, especially for homeowners converting from oil to gas heat who want to reclaim a drafty, unused fireplace. We size the insert to the existing flue, install a proper stainless steel liner when needed, and handle the gas connection. Most Huntington Station insert installations run $2,800-$4,200 including liner work. We also handle Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Huntington Station when the existing clay tile is too deteriorated to safely vent even a properly sized insert.
Damper Repair
Throat dampers in Huntington Station’s 55-75-year-old chimneys are often rusted shut, warped from heat, or missing entirely. A stuck damper wastes energy, invites drafts, and can make a fireplace unusable. We repair or replace throat dampers and install top-sealing dampers when the throat location is too deteriorated to rebuild. Damper work in Huntington Station typically runs $240-$480. We also handle Chimney Cap & Crown in Huntington Station when water infiltration from a failed cap has caused the damper mechanism to corrode.

Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Huntington Station Homes
- Orphaned chimneys after oil-to-gas conversions. When a Huntington Station homeowner switches from oil heat, the new gas boiler often vents through PVC while the old masonry chimney is left standing open. Within one or two wet winters, that uncapped flue becomes a water and animal problem, and we get the emergency call. We cap it properly or reline it for fireplace use.
- Salt-air deterioration of mortar and crowns. Huntington Station’s proximity to Huntington Harbor exposes chimney tops to salt-laden nor’easter winds. Freeze-thaw cycling opens mortar joints and cracks concrete crowns, letting water reach the firebox and smoke chamber. We see this pattern constantly in homes within a mile of the water.
- Clay tile liner failure in original oil-flue chimneys. The 1940s-1960s chimneys throughout 11746 were lined with clay tile rated for 50 years of oil furnace venting. Decades of sulfuric acid condensate have spalled, cracked, and shifted those liners. A fireplace installed below a failed liner is a carbon monoxide risk.
- Retrofit fireplaces with inadequate combustion air. Many Huntington Station living-room fireplaces were added to tight, post-war construction without outside air supplies. The result is smoke spillage, poor draft, and backdrafting when the kitchen range hood or dryer runs simultaneously.
