Tis the season for fun and festivities around the fireplace. Your fireplace may be great for providing warmth and ambiance, but it is also a great backdrop for family photos and gatherings. Not only can your fireplace be the star in your own holiday festivities, but it’s also the star of the show for the Jolly Elf himself. Don’t let Santa get his suit all dirty in your dirty chimney. You can get it spruced up before the big day.
A Clean Chimney System
When your chimney system is clean, it’s not just great for Santa’s dry-cleaning bill; it’s also great for your home. A clean chimney means bigger, warmer, more beautiful flames in the fireplace, less smoke and odors while the fire is burning, and a reduced risk of flue fire and chimney malfunction. When your chimney is clean, it is more efficient, requiring less wood to reach a desired temperature. An efficient chimney also means the smoke, odors, and hazardous gases are carried up the chimney and vented out of the house properly. When the chimney works properly, there are fewer drafts that affect your centrally heated air, saving on electricity or gas heat.
Having Your Chimney System Swept Professionally
There is still time to schedule a chimney sweep before Christmas. When you schedule now, you can enjoy all the benefits of a clean fireplace and chimney system in time for holiday activities. Be sure that you schedule these and all other chimney services with an appropriately certified chimney professionally.

Routine Maintenance = Safe Chimneys

Efficient chimneys are better for the environment, better for your family, and safer for your home.
