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.

The service was excellent
The service was excellent. They came on time, kept the area clean, and our fireplace looks great. This company put the fireplace in for us, and I highly recommend them. This call was a service call to clean and check that all was good. It was!

I can’t review them because they haven’t done anything for me yet. They had to special order materials for my chimney and as far as I know, they haven’t been received yet.

Disappointed in the reliability and high maintenance costs of the fireplace.
They know what they are doing
Very efficient and through. They explained what they were going to do and why
Highly recommend
Steve and Josh did a great job with the initial install on 12/9. They were professional and courteous. Fast forward to January 8 when I had an issue with the Mendota stove. I contacted Kevin , my sales rep., who had Mike come to the house first thing Saturday morning. Mike identified the source but wasn't able to fix it that morning. I received a call that same morning from the Service Manager. He informed me the hearth pad I ordered delivered. He wanted to schedule delivery and have his technicians fix the problem at the same time. Mike and Steve arrived early Monday morning. They were meticulous about their work and paid close attention to detail. They were great. Kevin followed up the same day to confirm I was satisfied. I would highly recommend the Fireplace & Chimney Authority. They did an outstanding job and stand by their work !

On time, polite, and got the job done! Not afraid to deal with our dryer vent on the roof! Took before & after pics to show us their work. Also remedied some things to avoid future clogs.
Quality, Care, and Customer Service
The service engineer (Guy) was focused on quality and took care in cleaning, checking, and servicing our gas fireplace. He also answered all my questions thoroughly and patiently. The unit has been working great since the service was completed and looks great too.
