Fireplace / chimey inspectors in Indy?

[Clay]

We purchased a new home last fall and it has multiple fireplaces. It's an old farmhouse (1860s) and the fireplaces haven't been used in at least 30 years as the previous owners never used it.

I want to get the fireplaces and chimneys inspected so I can figure out what I would need to do to use them, or install a gas long set, or whatever my options might be. I've been told there are limited options here in the Haute and I should probably look to somewhere in Indy for this. So does anyone have any recommendations of someone I should talk to on this??

thanks!!
Clay

I haven't used the guy yet, but Chimney Solutions in Brownsburg gets pretty great reviews. 5 stars on 84 Google reviews..

I spoke to him about trap shotgun fitting in Premier Arms in Brownsburg. Cool dude.

I've had T.J.'s Chimney Service, and I have been happy. They are a little east of Indy, though, so I'm not sure they serve Terre Haute.

Clay, if you want to install vent free gas logs, no need for inspection. Close and/or seal the flue and keep all the heat inside. I’ve got two in my home and have installed a couple for others. 99.9% efficient... better than any furnace. We have two furnaces that rarely ever kick on.

I wonder if I would get a discount since mine is still laying in my backyard?

Not sure if they go that far, but cinder box is a reputable company recommended by many real estate agents.

This is probably the avenue I've been the most interested in. I'm pretty sure I could install vent free with no issue. Where did you get yours, and how do you feed them? Reason I ask about how you feed them is I don't have a gas main in front of my house so this I would have to get a tank of some kind.

thanks!

Clay, I can personally vouch for the owner of https://chimneysolutionsindiana.com/ as a good dude.

Full disclosure - he's a cousin of mine. Also note, I've not had any work done by him.
