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.

We had our fireplace refinished
We had our fireplace refinished. The workmen did an excellent job protecting our floors and walls during demo. The stone work was exactly what I was wanting. The whole project took four days.
On time and very efficient technician
On time and very efficient technician. We happened to get the same tech who had installed the liner in our chimney many years ago.

Still waiting for the last part of the job but I’m confident my fireplace will be gleaming.
Okay, but oversold
The salesperson and installation team were good but I think we were oversold on the fireplace capabilities and what we could expect.

The installation team headed up by Danny did an amazing job! Very impressed.
These people are very experienced and good at what they do.
The Fireplace & Chimney Authority Company came highly recommended. They did not disappoint. From chimney cleaning and lining installation to fireplace refurbishing, both technicians were highly skilled and efficient with their work. I am very satisfied with the jobs done.
Prompt and professional cleaning of my Mendota.
Your technician arrived promptly for our scheduled appointment to have our Mendota fireplace insert cleaned. He did an excellent job with the cleaning process, cleaned up afterwards and made the Insert look as wonderful as it did when we purchased it.

Pushing $8000 stainless and titanium tube rather than a chimney sweep.

My fireplace still didn't work correctly after the service man left. The pilot light won't stay on and I could not use my fire place. A return visit is necessary
with a new part to be installed. I think charging for a return visit is more than I should pay.

Guy fid a great job cleaning my fireplace and making it operational for me. I also appreciated his explanations of the workings of it.
Outstanding Technicians Who Listen and Answer Questions
The technicians arrived on time, were courteous and respectful of my home and promptly donned shoe covers to protect the carpeting as it had recently snowed quite heavily and bringing in slush on boots was unavoidable. They placed a cloth tarp on the floor, situated their tools, explained what they were going to do to clean the fireplace, etc. and got to work. When they were done inside, they cleaned up the area, packed up their cleaning equipment and returned it all to their truck before getting ladder(s) from their truck and inspecting the chimney outside. When they were done, they explained the written recommendations for repairs that had been written down and was included with the receipt, answered my questions concerning the needed repairs and their cost (repairs to be done in the spring) and departed. Both technicians were friendly and professional and did an outstanding job cleaning the fireplace. Turns out the cleaning had been overdue but and I’m really glad that we can enjoy a nice fire in a safer environment. Thank you.
