Services
Chimney Inspection & Sweeping
Our CSIA-certified technicians inspect and sweep wood-, oil-, and gas-burning systems to ensure safety and efficiency. Using video inspection tools, we identify issues affecting performance and recommend solutions. Annual inspections meet NFPA standards, preventing hazards while optimizing system functionality for residential properties.
Oil and Gas Flue Relining
We specialize in relining deteriorated terracotta or unlined chimneys with stainless steel systems. This service enhances safety, improves heating efficiency, and brings systems up to current code standards. Our relining process addresses structural weaknesses while ensuring compliance with modern venting requirements for oil and gas appliances.
Dryer Vent Inspection & Cleaning
We inspect and clean dryer vents in single- and multi-story homes using diagnostic tools to detect blockages or inefficiencies. Regular maintenance prevents fire hazards, improves appliance performance, and extends system lifespan. Our technicians address airflow issues to maintain safe and energy-efficient dryer operations.
Fireplace Insert Installation
Professional installation of fireplace inserts and venting systems follows local and national codes. We ensure proper integration with existing structures while optimizing heating efficiency. Our installations enhance safety, reduce emissions, and improve the functionality of residential heating appliances.
