The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that every chimney and vented heating appliance be cleaned and inspected each year. This includes both gas and wood stoves, pellet stoves and all kinds of furnace flues. Even if you don’t use your chimney very often, it’s important to make sure that the structure is safe and sound. In the long run, regular chimney inspections will save you time and money as well as add to the value of your home.
While we’re on the subject of having your chimney regularly swept and inspected, remember that we also provide oil flue cleaning and maintenance.
Does Total Care Chimney Only Offer Oil Flue Cleaning?
While oil flue cleaning is one of our core services, it’s far from the only type of flue or chimney sweeping we provide. The Total Chimney Care team understands that homes in New Haven and Fairfield counties rely on a variety of systems for heating and comfort, which is why we offer comprehensive flue and fireplace cleaning services tailored to your setup. Whether your system runs on oil, gas, or wood, we’ve got the tools, training, and experience to handle it all.
Utility Flue Sweep
Utility flues are often connected to your gas- or oil-fueled furnace or water heater. Even though these appliances burn cleaner than traditional fireplaces, they still produce byproducts that can build up inside the flue over time. If these flues are not regularly swept and maintained, corrosion, blockages, or draft issues can occur – potentially leading to carbon monoxide problems or system inefficiencies.
Our utility flue sweep service is designed to keep your heating systems operating efficiently and safely. We remove any accumulated debris or residue, check for signs of damage or wear, and ensure that your utility venting system is functioning as it should. A clean flue can also extend the life of your heating appliances and reduce the risk of big-ticket repairs.
Fireplace Sweep
For homeowners who use wood-burning or gas fireplaces, our fireplace sweep services are essential. Over time, soot, creosote, and other byproducts can collect inside the chimney flue. If not removed, this buildup can restrict airflow, increase the chance of chimney odors, and raise the risk of a chimney fire.
During a fireplace sweep, we thoroughly clean the interior of your chimney and firebox while also inspecting for structural concerns, liner damage, or drafting issues. We take extra care to keep your home clean throughout the process, using specialized equipment to contain dust and debris.
Whether you rely on an oil flue, utility flue, or traditional fireplace, Total Chimney Care offers reliable, professional cleaning services to keep your system running properly and your home protected.
