The National Fire Protection Association says, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.”
More frequent cleanings may be required depending on usage, wood type, and other contributing factors. Call the experienced technicians at Fireplace & Chimney Professionals today, for fireplace cleaning, maintenance, and repair services.
Whether you use your open-hearth masonry fireplace, manufactured fireplace, stove, or insert for ambiance, daily comfort, or emergency heat and have an open, screened, or glass front your appliance is a candidate for an annual maintenance.
