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.

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.

Fireplace Routine Cleaning Service
The Fireplace and Chimney Authority is hands down the best place to call for expert service. Both Mike and Jason are a true asset to their company. We are extremely pleased with their high level of attention to detail and professionalism. Going forward we would not consider calling anyone else.

Easy to set up appointment and great followup. Crew did a great job and explained every step and gave suggestions for next steps.
Fireplace chimney authority is a must…
Fireplace chimney authority is a must if you are looking to do any type of work or replacement of your fireplace. Or if you are looking to put one in. The company is professionals from the moment you walk in all the way to the installers. I literally just had a system put in and their communication from the get go was on point. They walk you through every step and have multiple options and styles to choose from. I had looked at different companies but these guys are the best hands down.
Great service and professional
Service man was very knowledgeable, professional and did a wonderful job.
the crew was excellent.....
the crew was excellent, right on time, good communications in advance.
I'd give a five star but we may need a repeat visit - the fireplace has low "low" and high settings that do not seem to work
Low flame only for now, repair not urgent but is appropriate. I should have suggested we check it when they were here.
Maintenance Cleaning of Mendota Fireplace Insert
Chris did a great job cleaning our Mendota fireplace insert and ensuring that it ran properly. He found a hole in the exhaust duct which was allowing cold air to come in and which extinguished the unit on start-up. Chris perfomed the work very professionally and left his work area clean.
Great install
The guys that came and did the install were fabulous. They even painted my panels in the truck because I’m allergic to the smells of paint. My only problem was since we needed to order a piece for the fireplace and I was told it would take 18 business days, I called after a month and unfortunately the part had been discontinued and the manufacturer did not advise the store. After that, they got things moving as soon as possible and I was very appreciative.
On time great customer service

The gentlemen that came to provide service were timely, informative and very professional.
Ignition failed after only 4 years
Ignition failed after only 4 years. Did not have parts available - and would not order until I had paid for replacement parts.
Onsite techs are awesome!
The upside was the techs (Rocky and Alex) were very thorough and knowledgeable. They were very conscientious about making sure the job was safe and clean. Rocky explained the process and executed the plan perfectly. Job well done!
The slight downside was booking the work date with the Elmhurst location. The guy I spoke with was gruff and not customer focused.
