Chimney Sweeps, It’s that time of year again
SHARE
Spring is in the air. The time, that for many, will see the use of their wood-burning stove slow down and eventually stop. Therefore the perfect time to get your stack swept by one of your local chimney sweeps.
The number of times your chimney needs sweeping depends on what type of fuel you use in your appliance. The general rule of thumb is that you follow the guidelines below;
- Smokeless fuels – At least once a year
- Wood – Every 3 months when in use – at least twice a year
- Coal – Every 3 months when in use – at least twice a year
- Oil – Once a year
- Gas – Once a year
Why Should I Sweep My Chimney?
You definitely shouldn’t be using your chimney if it looks like this! Something would definitely be living in there with this foliage. Even if it is just the tree!
It is most likely that this is an unused chimney but it does highlight the need to ensure your chimney/flue is fully operational before using.
