Our story
The family the Main Line keeps calling back.
We have been a family-owned chimney and fireplace company in Ardmore since 2009. What keeps people calling us back is simple: we tell you what your chimney actually needs, we do the work right, and we treat your home the way we would treat our own. No pressure, no surprises, no upsell.

Why we do it this way
A name on the truck, and a name behind every job.
Alliance Chimney & Energy was built from the ground up with one promise: give people honest assessments and do the work right the first time. Charles McHenry started the company in 2009 because he saw a gap between what homeowners were being told they needed and what they actually needed.
Our approach is different on purpose. We inspect, we document, we explain in plain language, and then we let you decide. There is no inflated scope, no manufactured urgency, and no surprise charge at the end. When the honest answer is a cleaning instead of the expensive repair someone else quoted, that is exactly what we tell you.
We tell you what your chimney actually needs, even when that means a cleaning, not the expensive repair someone else quoted.
The people on your roof
Real faces you will recognize on site.
When we pull up, you will know who is at your door. This is the same small, family crew on every job, the people who will be the ones inside your home.
Charles McHenry
Owner
Charles (Chuck) started the company in 2009 and still inspects, advises, and sets the scope on jobs himself. He is the reason the honest assessment is not a slogan here. It is how he runs every visit.
