Fast, Reliable Fireplace Services Across Pomona
Pomona sits deep in the inland Pomona Valley where winter nights regularly drop into the upper 30s and low 40s - cold enough that residents here actually burn fires, unlike coastal LA cities where chimneys are largely ornamental. If your gas fireplace won’t ignite on a January evening or your wood-burning hearth is smoking into the living room, you need someone who knows these homes and can be there fast. Our Fireplace Services in Pomona team typically arrives same-day or next-day throughout the 91766, 91767, 91769, and 91797 ZIP codes. Call (844) 803-1545 - a live person answers, 24 hours a day.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Pomona’s Preferred Fireplace Services Company
We’ve been serving the Pomona Valley since 2014 - over 12 years - and we’ve worked on the original fireplaces in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, the ranch-style tracts near Ganesha Park, and the mid-century homes lining Foothill Boulevard. Pomona’s vast stock of 1950s-1970s stucco tract homes across 91766 and 91768 contain original masonry fireplaces that have gone 50-70 years without professional Pomona Chimney Cleaning & Sweep inspection, making actual creosote accumulation and cracked flue tiles the norm rather than the exception. We document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict - no jargon, no surprises.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and complete most Chimney Repair in Pomona in a single visit. We offer no-hassle upfront pricing: the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. And every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in this community.
Our Fireplace Services in Pomona
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Pomona’s older homes often suffer from worn thermocouples, clogged burner ports, and failed ignition modules - especially in units that sat unused through hot summers then get switched on suddenly when valley temperatures plunge. We service standing pilot and electronic ignition systems, replace failed components with professional-grade parts, and test for proper gas pressure and venting before we leave. A typical gas fireplace service call in Pomona runs $150-$280.
Wood Burning Fireplace
The original masonry fireplaces in Pomona’s postwar neighborhoods were built for wood burning, but decades of deferred maintenance have left many with deteriorated firebrick, damaged smoke chambers, and flues packed with glazed creosote. We perform Level-2 camera inspections to see what you can’t, then clean, repair, or rebuild as needed. Because these homes are now well past their expected service life, we frequently find spalled flue liners and rusted dampers that require more than a simple sweep. Wood-burning fireplace restoration in Pomona typically ranges from $280 for a thorough cleaning and inspection to $1,800-$3,400 for firebox rebuilding or smoke chamber parging.
Fireplace Insert
Many Pomona homeowners are converting drafty old masonry fireplaces to efficient inserts - particularly in the 91767 neighborhoods where original fireplaces were never designed for modern heating demands. We measure, specify, and install inserts that fit properly and vent safely through existing flues or new stainless steel liners. Our Fireplace Services include full insert installation with proper clearances and venting, using materials from trusted brands like Olympia Chimney and DuraFlex. Fireplace insert installation in Pomona generally runs $2,400-$4,200 depending on unit size and liner requirements.
Damper Repair
Rusted, stuck, or misaligned dampers are among the most common problems we find in Pomona’s original tract homes. The inland valley’s wider temperature swings compared to coastal LA accelerate thermal-cycling damage to aging metal components, and many dampers have simply seized after decades of non-use. We repair or replace throat dampers and top-sealing dampers, restoring proper draft control and preventing heated air from escaping up the chimney. Damper repair or replacement in Pomona typically costs $180-$450.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from industry-trusted brands - no builder-grade substitutes. For Pomona homeowners, that means DuraFlex stainless steel liners for relining deteriorated flues, HeatShield cerfractory sealant for restoring smoke chambers, and Famco and Copperfield components for damper and cap replacements. We stock common parts locally so most repairs don’t wait on shipping. When we specify a material, it’s because we’ve installed it in Pomona homes and know it holds up to the valley’s temperature swings and Santa Ana wind exposure.
Common Fireplace Services Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Bird nests and wind-driven debris blocking flues. Technicians working in Pomona consistently find bird nests and debris packed into uncapped chimneys on valley-facing exposures - a direct result of the strong Santa Ana funneling effect specific to this inland basin, far less common in shielded Claremont or La Verne just a few miles away.
- Cracked or spalled terra-cotta flue tiles. The original flue liners in Pomona’s 1950s-1970s homes have endured 50-70 years of thermal cycling; we find fractures and missing sections in the majority of Level-2 inspections we perform in the 91766 and 91768 areas.
- Deteriorated mortar joints and missing firebrick. Age and moisture intrusion have loosened mortar in countless Pomona fireboxes, creating gaps that allow heat to reach combustible framing - a genuine safety hazard that requires professional repair.
- Rusted or inoperable dampers. Original throat dampers in these postwar homes were rarely maintained; many are frozen open, wasting energy, or frozen shut, trapping smoke and dangerous gases in the home.

FAQs - Fireplace Services in Pomona
We typically arrive same-day or next-day for fireplace service calls throughout Pomona’s 91766, 91767, 91769, and 91797 ZIP codes. Emergency calls - gas leaks, blocked flues with smoke backing into the home, or suspected carbon monoxide issues - get priority dispatch. Call (844) 803-1545 anytime; a live person answers 24/7.
Yes - we work across all Pomona neighborhoods, from the historic homes near Lincoln Park and the Mayfair Hotel to the mid-century ranches along Foothill Boulevard and the south-side tracts near Ganesha Park. These older areas are where our expertise matters most, since their original fireplaces are now well past expected service life.
Yes. Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not voicemail, not a callback queue. If you smell gas, see smoke entering your home, or your carbon monoxide detector activates, call (844) 803-1545 immediately and we’ll dispatch a technician.
Pricing is consistent across our service area, though Pomona’s older housing stock sometimes requires more extensive repair than newer construction in Diamond Bar or north La Verne. The typical gas fireplace service call runs $150-$280 regardless of city; wood-burning restoration tends to run higher in Pomona’s 50-70-year-old homes because original flue tiles and firebrick simply need more attention. We quote upfront before any work begins - call for a free estimate.
