ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS:

All Chimney Flues should be inspected annually - including flues serving furnaces, water heaters, boilers, fireplaces, wood-burning furnaces, and wood -burning stoves.

Wood stove chimneys or flues may need sweeping twice per season since their flues/chimneys are small and creosote restricts draft.

Burn only dry, seasoned cordwood or untreated pallet wood in your fireplace or stove.  Do not burn treated wood, colored paper, gift wrapping, trash, etc. which can cause toxic fumes or a chimney fire!

Chimney sweeping is necessary to remove flammable creosote from the flue and smoke chamber when there is 1/4" or more of buildup.  ALL wood produces creosote, even dry hardwoods!

Only burn seasoned dry cordwood in your stove or fireplace.  Never burn trash (chimney fire), colored paper (toxic), or treated wood (toxic). Cut wood at least 6 months prior to the woodburning season to allow it to dry.

Dryer vents need to be cleaned to remove flammable lint and to allow the dryer to work properly.  This should usually be done once per year for a 1-3 person household.

Gas appliances such as gas logs, gas stoves, and gas inserts should be serviced once per year for optimal operation. Their flues need to be inspected annually.
