We clean oil and gas furnace flues, too!
Oil flues especially need annual cleaning and inspection. The build-up of soot from improper oil combustion can lead to chimney fires, flue deterioration, or chimney blockages that also can force toxic fumes back into your home. Plus, improper drafting can cause inefficient furnace operation leading to higher fuel costs.
Natural gas is a clean-burning fuel, but gas heating systems still require regular maintenance. Gas furnaces and boilers produce high levels of water vapor which condensate in your furnace flue. Air from inside your home carries dust and other particles into the combustion chamber where they are burned to ash and then adhere to the condensation. If not removed, this soot can create very corrosive conditions for your flue, leading to premature failure and entry of poisonous gases into your home.
To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, gas and oil appliance manufacturers as well as fireplace manufacturers recommend a yearly safety check-up and cleaning. Let Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps clean your chimney or furnace flue annually to make sure that combustion gases are moving safely up your chimney or flue and out of your home.
