Question: Wait, do I actually need to schedule chimney cleaning?
Answer: If you have a fireplace and chimney that you have used at all, you should schedule chimney cleaning. This is true whether you have a gas fireplace or a wood-burning fireplace. There is build-up that will collect in your chimney that presents a fire risk if it isn’t cleared out.
Question: Do I need to get my chimney cleaned even if I only used it a couple of times this winter?
Answer:Â The short answer to this question is yes. Anytime you use your fireplace, it creates particles that will collect and build-up in your chimney. Regularly cleaning your chimney, even if it isn’t used regularly, saves you money by making the job easier and keeps your home safer.
Question: Why can’t I clean my chimney myself?
Answer: Unless you happen to be a professional chimney sweep, the average person doesn’t have the expertise nor the tools to allow them to get their chimney cleaned properly or safely.
Question: What does chimney cleaning do exactly?
Answer: When you get your chimney cleaned, it allows a professional chimney sweep to safely remove the build-up of creosote, soot, and dirt from your chimney that would otherwise create a big fire risk whenever you get your fireplace going again.
Question: Alright, I need to clean my chimney. When do I get the job done?
Answer: Whether you have used your chimney all winter long, or you only got the fire going a few times for family get-togethers, you should schedule chimney cleaning services at least once a year. Not only will chimney cleaning keep you safer, but it will also prevent unwanted smells and can make your fireplace more efficient.
