Winter Preparation Tips from the Experts

Before lighting your first fire of the season, take these simple but important steps to prepare your fireplace and chimney:

  • Schedule a professional inspection and cleaning to remove creosote buildup and identify potential hazards.
  • Check your chimney cap and liner for signs of wear or animal nests that can block airflow.
  • Inspect doors, gaskets, and glass for cracks or leaks that could reduce efficiency or release smoke indoors.
  • Test your gas or pellet system for proper ignition, venting, and heat output.
  • Stock up on quality fuel, such as seasoned hardwoods or clean-burning pellets, and store them in a dry, covered location.

If any issues arise, our repair team is fully equipped to handle chimney repairs, gas and pellet stove servicing, or fireplace part replacements quickly and safely.
