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.

Very happy with the results
We had to have our gas logs cleaned and repositioned. The tech did a great job to get the gas flowing evenly. He was punctual and conscientious. We were very happy with the results.

Fireplace stone + Mendota insert
I specifically wanted a Mendota fireplace insert. Not too many places to purchase from in NWI. I ended up at the Fireplace Authority location in Elmhurst, IL. Jason was super helpful (and patient!) during the entire process. I went back to them to also purchase the hearth, mantle and stone for my 16 ft tall wall.
Everything came out beautifully and I couldn’t be more pleased!!
I would highly recommend this team!!

Felt the experience was a bit of a “bait & switch”. Some initial price estimates followed by actual much higher quote. After reaching out to explore options…Noone has returned my request. I’ve moved on to another company

Clean-up job
Gas log had become blocked with the years of use; flame was not even. Didn't look realistic.
Chris did a GREAT clean-up job, was really meticulous about it. Investigated the cause of weak flame and stayed with it until he achieved the perfect results.
Our technician was very neat
Our technician was very neat. We didn't have to do any additional cleanup after his work was completed. He solved out problem with our remote very quickly (dirty contacts.) An excellent experience!
Great job Chris
The technician who came diagnosed the problem pretty quickly, and ruled out other issues, giving the whole unit a going over. He talked through everything he was doing, as I watched. He was very careful and cleaned up completely. The funny thing was the problem was actually with the switch on the wall, not the fireplace itself. I could’ve easily changed that if I had realized it! Oh well we got our 26 year old fireplace fully checked so that was good. If there was any negative, it was just that it took so long to get an appointment.- more than a month.
Large showroom to see choices
Large showroom to see choices. Knowledgeable staff. Installers were always on time. Respectful of our home & property. Excellent job of explaining process of installation.
