California's warm summers and mild winters can still lead to chimney use. Many homes in areas like Fresno and Sacramento have older masonry chimneys. These need regular cleaning to prevent creosote buildup. Wildfire season also makes chimney maintenance critical for safety. A clean chimney is a safer chimney, especially when outdoor air quality is a concern.
