This depends a lot on how much you use your fireplace or stove. 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. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.”

Every flue is different, but on average a thorough cleaning should take about 45 minutes to an hour.

Good dry and well seasoned wood like fir is best.

Creosote is a combination of particles that result from incomplete combustion, vapors, steam, and soot. The mix is carried up the flue in the smoke and adheres to chimney walls. Smoke which is moist, humid and warm, full of combustion by-products is deposited onto the walls of a cold chimney just like warm breath on cold glass. Simply put condensation. These deposits continue to grow in the presence of smoke forming creosote.

Air Duct Cleaning is a service that will clean the dirt, dust, insects parts, and general grime that accumulates in your HVAC air duct system, and circulates around your home when you run your furnace or central air conditioner.

No, with the suction right at the source of the brushing, it creates a low pressure within the duct collecting the dust right away. We also cover all the registers to help with suction and keep the dust out of your home.

We ask you to please move any furniture away from both hot and cold air registers so our technicians can do their work easily and efficiently with damaging any of your belongings.

Yes, we can provide this service. After duct cleaning, the system is cleaned using an anti-microbial treatment that is fogged into your air duct system and circulated by your system’s air blower.

Cleaning intervals depend on your family’s sensitivity to dust, pollen, dirt and pet dander, as well as, the type of air filter you use with your furnace. Intervals will vary. However, the average is once every three to four years, more often if you have pets.
