Stoves and inserts are efficient because they hold heat in the room. That same efficiency means cooler flue gases and faster creosote buildup, especially when the stove runs low overnight.
How often
Inspect every year. Many stoves used as a main heat source need a sweep at least once a season, sometimes more. Pellet stoves also collect fly ash in the venting and need the vent cleaned on schedule.
What our stove and insert sweep includes
- Brushing the liner or connector pipe end to end
- Cleaning the smoke shelf, baffle and firebox
- Checking gaskets, door seals and the liner connection
- HEPA vacuum and drop cloths throughout
A wood stove, insert or pellet stove sweep is $249. Book online.
