Why Regular Cleaning is Essential

Fire Prevention

Creosote buildup is highly flammable. Regular cleaning removes this dangerous substance, protecting your home.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Blocked chimneys can cause deadly carbon monoxide to enter your home. Professional cleaning ensures proper ventilation.

Improved Efficiency

A clean system burns more efficiently, producing more heat while using less fuel.

Prevent Damage

Acidic creosote and soot can corrode chimney liners and fireboxes. Regular cleaning extends system life.

Eliminate Odors

Remove unpleasant smells caused by creosote, animal nests, or moisture issues.

Insurance Compliance

Many home insurance policies require annual chimney cleaning and inspection to maintain coverage.

How Often Should You Clean?

Cleaning frequency varies based on usage, but we recommend annual cleaning for all systems. Heavy users may need more frequent service.

Wood-Burning Fireplaces

Annual Cleaning

The NFPA recommends cleaning when creosote buildup reaches 1/8 inch. For most users, this means annual cleaning before the heating season.

Wood & Pellet Stoves

Annual Cleaning

Annual cleaning is recommended for typical use. Heavy users may benefit from mid-season cleaning due to increased ash buildup.

Gas Fireplaces

Annual Inspection

While gas systems produce less buildup, annual inspection and cleaning ensures safe operation and optimal efficiency.

All Systems

Yearly Minimum

Even rarely used systems should be inspected annually to check for blockages, animal nests, or deterioration.
