Chimney Sweeping
Burning solid fuels like wood, oil, and gas can accumulate flammable and/or dangerous obstructions inside your chimney. Regular sweeping/cleaning is necessary to assure a safe and functional heating system.
Chimney Caps, Dampers, Liners, and Flues
Chimney caps are highly recommended to prevent animals, rain/ice, and annoying downdrafts from high winds.
Dampers and flues often need attention to maintain an efficient system.
Liners are commonly installed to reduce the size of a chimney that was built too big. More efficient furnaces and hot water heaters need smaller chimneys than before.
Safety Inspections
Annual service can give your chimney efficiency, safety, and prevent corrosive soot from damaging your chimney and causing expensive repairs. Blockages can lead to deadly carbon monoxide in your home.
