Did you know that your chimney plays a critical role in the efficiency of your stove or fireplace? Furthermore, if you own a pellet stove, it has the ability to shut down components to prevent it from functioning properly. Keeping your chimney clear is essential; however, many homeowners focus on cleaning their stoves and fireplaces while often overlooking the chimney. Don’t make that mistake—ensure your entire system is well-maintained for optimal performance.
What are the different kinds of sweep services?
A sweep is where the chimney pipe is cleared of any debris inside the pipe that might interfere with the chimney operating correctly. But there are several different types of services depending on the type of stove or fireplace you have:
- Open Fireplaces consist of sweeping the chimney, and inside the fireplace and visual inspection.
- Woodstove Sweeps consist of sweeping out the pipe and the inside of the stove and visual inspection.
- Pellet Stove Sweeps consist of sweeping the pipe, stove, combustion chambers and fans.
- Gas Fireplace Service isn’t a sweep of the chimney it’s cleaning out orifices, dust bunnies, logs, and polishing the glass and replacing embers.
