About this service

Getting your chimney cleaned involves a technician removing flammable creosote and debris from the flue to prevent chimney fires. This is a vital maintenance task for anyone who uses their fireplace, wood stove, or furnace vent. It is recommended to have this done at least once a year, preferably before the winter burning season begins. A clean chimney ensures that your home stays safe and that your fireplace operates at peak efficiency.

As the air cools, everyone starts thinking about their first fire of the year. Fall is the busiest time for chimney cleaning, so it is best to act early to avoid the wait.
