A typical gas fireplace service or damper repair runs $180-$450, while firebox repairs or insert-related work range higher depending on what the camera inspection reveals. We’re not affiliated with Olympia Chimney, but we’ve worked on their products in Westminster homes for decades and stock the parts that fail most often.

Call (301) 215-3355

This page is for homeowners in Westminster, Carroll County, and nearby who own an Olympia Chimney gas fireplace, wood burning fireplace, or fireplace insert and need a technician who knows the difference between a Series 35 damper assembly and a Series 80 without reading the manual twice. Call (301) 215-3355. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Series 35 gas fireplaces: pilot assembly carbon buildup. The Series 35 pilot orifice sits close to the burner pan, and in Westminster’s hard-water zone, mineral-laden humidity accelerates carbon fouling faster than the manual suggests. We see this every November when homeowners fire up after months off. We pull the pilot, clean with the right reamer gauge, and replace the thermopile if voltage has dropped below 325 mV. OEM pilot assemblies are available, but we’ve had equal longevity with quality aftermarket units from our Famco supply line.
• Series 80 wood burning fireplaces: cracked refractory panels. The Series 80 uses thinner refractory than comparable HeatShield-backed installations, and the thermal cycling in Carroll County’s freeze-thaw winters stress-crack the side panels at the bolt holes first. We document with camera photos, source matching Olympia Chimney refractory or upgrade to HeatShield Cerfractory foam when the firebox geometry allows. Either way, you see the photos and we explain why one route makes sense over the other.
• Olympia Chimney fireplace inserts: blower motor bearing failure. The OEM blower on older Olympia Chimney inserts runs a sleeve bearing that seizes after roughly 8-12 seasons of intermittent use. Westminster homeowners often describe it as “a vibration that got worse, then stopped moving air entirely.” We carry replacement ball-bearing blowers from our Copperfield inventory that outlast the original design and fit the same housing without bracket modification.
• Series 50 top-sealing dampers: cable fray at the pivot eyelet. The Series 50’s stainless cable wears where it passes through the cast eyelet, especially if the chimney cap has been missing and rain runs down the cable into the mechanism. In Westminster’s older homes along Main Street, we’ve found cables parted completely, leaving the damper stuck open. We replace with Gelco cable assemblies rated for the same load, or convert to a lock-top damper if the firebox throat is accessible.
• Fireplace conversion jobs: gas line sizing for Olympia Chimney burner retrofits. Converting a Series 20 wood box to gas requires checking the existing line against the burner orifice chart. Olympia Chimney’s spec calls for 7″ WC minimum, but we’ve found 50-year-old Westminster supply lines delivering 5.5″ during peak demand. We test with a manometer, show you the reading, and coordinate with a licensed plumber if upsizing is needed. No conversion leaves our hands untested.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a window that works. No app, no callback queue.
2. 2
   Arrival and walkthrough. Our technician arrives uniformed and background-checked, lays down floor protection, and listens to what you’ve observed. Russell Haines trained our team to start with the homeowner’s description, not the toolbox.
3. 3
   Level-2 camera inspection. We run a camera through the flue and around the firebox, capturing photos of every condition we find. You see the screen in real time. The photos go into your report with a plain-English verdict.
4. 4
   Parts decision and upfront pricing. If your Olympia Chimney needs a part, we explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or our other professional-grade lines. The price is fixed before work begins.
5. 5
   Repair and live test. We complete the repair, run the fireplace through its full cycle, and verify draft, gas pressure, or damper operation against manufacturer spec.
6. 6
   Cleanup, documentation, and guarantee. We haul away old parts, leave the hearth cleaner than we found it, and hand you the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork chase.

Why Westminster Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been in Westminster and Carroll County for over 42 years. That means we’ve worked on Olympia Chimney products installed in the 1980s, the 1990s, and last season. We know which parts interchange, which don’t, and where the factory spec has changed without the model number changing.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing. If something we fixed isn’t right, we come back. No arguing, no forms to mail. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the multi-brand inventory to finish most jobs in one visit: DuraFlex liners, HeatShield refractory systems, Gelco dampers and caps, plus Olympia Chimney-compatible components from Famco and Copperfield. When we say we’ll be there, we’ll be there. And when we give you a price, that’s the price on the invoice.

Do it right the first time, or plan on doing it twice. Russell Haines learned that at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and it’s the standard we still work to in Westminster.
