How Often Should Your Chimney Be Professionally Swept?

How often you should schedule a chimney sweeping service will depend on how often you use your fireplace as well as what types of fuel you are burning. If you burn coal or fuel, we recommend scheduling a chimney sweep service twice a year - once before the start of the heating season and once at the end of heating season. If you burn smokeless fuels, once a year should be enough. If you use your fireplace heavily throughout the winter, your chimney sweep may recommend additional visits.

How to tell if your chimney needs sweeping:

• Noticeable odor from your chimney even when a fire isn't actively burning
• There is smoke being blown back into your room even when your flue is open
• Visible soot buildup on the sides of your fireplace

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call for professional chimney sweeping right away. Improper chimney maintenance can pose a fire hazard. We recommend that you discontinue the use of your fireplace until after it is swept.
