Since 1998, we’ve been offering our Chicago area customers the very best in personalized service and outstanding workmanship. Our story began in the mid-nineties when two business partners decided to open their own chimney company to serve their local area. The business originally offered services like repairs, cleanings, and inspections with the goal of adding value and longevity to their customers homes. After listening to the unique needs of local homeowners over the years, our founders noticed a need to extend their offerings to include fireplaces and outdoor living items. Other stores at the time were not customer friendly, clean, or modern. This problem sparked the idea for Fireplace and Chimney Authority as we experience it today. If you are in the Chicago area, we invite you to visit one of our showrooms or check out our online catalog to get an idea of what you might like. Browse our Gallery for our recent makeovers and see a variety of jobs that could make your design dreams come true. In our showrooms, you can expect our professional sales consultants guide you through the process of choosing the very best items for your budget and needs. Our beautiful and bright showrooms in Lisle and Elmhurst are perfect destinations for people in the Chicago land area. Are you looking for service or maintenance of our existing fireplace rather than purchasing something new? No worries. Our wide-reaching service area covers the city of Chicago as well as the northern, western and southern suburbs. We are avidly committed to the satisfaction of our all of customers, partners and employees. Get in touch today to experience the Fireplace and Chimney Authority difference.

Polite efficient tech
Polite efficient tech. Arrived on time and set to work after covering adjacent area. Was here for cleaning and inspecting gas fireplace. Would have given five stars had the logs been replaced without leaving a big gap.

Paid $299.00 for cleaning & inspection of my gas fireplace. The tech completed the cleaning within 45 minutes and stated that all seemed good with the fireplace but noted the fan was not working as he wrote up the ticket. First of all, the fan was fully functional before the cleaning. Plus, if the fan wasn’t working he shouldn’t have been finishing up the work without correcting the issue. After I mentioned it was working fine before, he opened up the bottom and realized he had turned it off. A rather large charge for an unskilled professional.

I called this company for putting the chimney cap on my fireplace vent. The guy came with his assistant and finished the work in time. Did a good job. He showed me the picture of what he did. Reasonably priced. I will recommend this company strongly

Chris the technician did a good job of painting, cleaning and explaining how to maintain my fireplace. However, I was disappointed with having to call the office three times to have the fireplace logs placed properly to avoid soot damage. Chris is a true professional and was very courteous.

The technical team did an outstanding job! The treated my home like it was there own! They were true professionals!!
Should have done this long ago!
Techs arrived early but waited offsite till I arrived and returned their call. My small gas stove was not turning on instantly and not staying on and I needed to get it working to sell the house. Techs did maintenance, added some nice embers and viola, good as new. No charge beyond the maintenance call. Great guys! Young, energetic and super friendly. All smiles all around!

The technician did an amazing job. I would highly recommend them. We have been using them for years and we have never be disappointed.

The technician was knowledgeable and addressed the reason for the visit. Just disappointed with the fact that he left the flute opened in the fireplace leaving the family room very cool and uncomfortable until we discovered the problem. Also he needed to use an electrical outlet that was being used which he unplugged the recliner and never replugged it. Seemed like he was in quite a hurry to leave. I was to receive a call as to the time they would come out to do the service. Never received a call
Chimney cleaning and assessment
The people were through in their assessment and their completion of the job. They explained next steps well.
Great service
Great service, meticulous cleaning. The service person was very polite and clean in his work. I wish more companies provided this overall experience with the same high quality and pleasantness. Kudos to them for a job well done. I would recommend them to everyone.
