Why Is Chimney Cleaning And Inspection Important
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommend that all chimneys, fireplaces and vents be inspected at least once a year, no matter the amount of usage and cleaned as necessary.
"But I never use my fireplace or mostly once or twice a year"
Even if a chimney system is not being used at all or only occasionally, for safety reasons, all chimneys and fireplaces should be inspected annually. With an annual inspection you can
-
find out if your chimney needs professional cleaning from soot, creosote or animal nests
-
avoid dangerous deflagrations and a chimney fire
-
avoid carbon monoxide poisening
-
catch problems before they entail expensive repairs
-
ensure that your cold air does not escape through the chimney
-
increase the safety and performance of your heating appliance
-
provide peace of mind for you and your family
