This page is for Wakefield homeowners who already own an Olympia Chimney product and need someone who knows how these units behave in our freeze-thaw climate. If your gas insert is cycling off prematurely, your wood fireplace is drafting poorly, or you’re weighing a fireplace conversion, we’ll put a camera down the flue, show you the photo record, and write down the price before we talk about what to do next. Call (978) 861-1012 for a free estimate.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Pre-Fab Fireplace Warped Firebox Panels (Oly 36CF / 42CF Series): These units run hot and fast, and in Wakefield we see the refractory panels crack at the rear wall seam after 8-12 seasons of heavy use. The panels are proprietary to Olympia, but we’ve sourced compatible aftermarket refractory through Copperfield that meets the same 2,300°F spec at roughly 60% of OEM cost. We stamp the warranty on both options under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard.
• Gas Insert Ignition Control Module Failure (Oly GI-430 / GI-550): The Honeywell-branded module in these inserts sits directly above the burner pan and collects moisture during humid Wakefield summers when the unit isn’t running. By September we get calls for “clicks but no flame.” We bench-test the module, replace with OEM or a certified equivalent, and relocate the new module on a ceramic standoff when clearance allows. The camera finds the corrosion pattern before we quote.
• Direct-Vent Termination Hood Freeze-Up (Oly DV-80 / DV-100): Wakefield’s nor’easter wind exposure, especially on homes near Lake Quannapowitt, drives snow and freezing rain into the termination hood. The DV-80’s smaller exhaust port ices over faster than the DV-100, causing pressure switch faults and shutdown. We clear the ice, verify the intake/exhaust separation distance, and install a Gelco wind-resistant termination cap when the original hood design is undersized for the site.
• Chimney Liner Connection Gaps at the Appliance Collar (Oly SL-200 / SL-300 Flexible Liner): Olympia’s flexible stainless liners use a slip-fit collar at the appliance adapter, and the clamp can loosen from thermal cycling. We find gaps leaking exhaust into the smoke chamber on roughly one in five SL-series inspections in Wakefield’s older colonials. The fix is a new adapter with a positive-lock band, not more clamp torque. Corrine Halstead and her crew have documented this failure pattern since 2014 - it’s in our archive under Haven Standard Clause 4.
• Fireplace Insert Smoke Chamber Parging Loss (Oly FP-36 Wood-Burning Insert): The FP-36 drops into a masonry fireplace and depends on a smooth smoke chamber to draw properly. When the original parging (the thin mortar coating) flakes off, the insert smokes into the room on light-up. We re-parge with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam, which bonds to the existing brick and carries a 20-year material warranty. The alternative is a stainless smoke chamber liner from DuraFlex, which we quote separately when the brick is too degraded.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Schedule and confirm. You call (978) 861-1012 and reach a live person. We assign a named technician, run a background check confirmation, and text you when they’re en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera. We run a chimney-scan camera down the flue and photograph the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, and exterior termination. You see what we see. This is Haven Standard Clause 4, unchanged since 2009.
3. 3
   Diagnosis and parts decision. We identify the Olympia Chimney series, check parts availability through our network (OEM Olympia, or quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield), and explain the trade-off in writing.
4. 4
   Written price, scope, and warranty before work starts. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: the price is fixed, the scope is itemized, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on the page. No surprises.
5. 5
   Repair, test, and document. We complete the work, run combustion analysis on gas units or a smoke-puff test on wood-burning systems, and add the finished photos to your record.
6. 6
   Cleanup and archive. Your documented photo record is saved for future reference. If you need a free second opinion on another company’s written quote, bring it in - we’ll itemize what we agree and disagree with.
