Protect your family from Carbon Monoxide with a clean chimney and flue

Carbon monoxide poisoning is usually caused by incomplete combustion and inadequate ventilation. Sooted chimneys and dust-choked flues slow the escape of combustion gases from your home and can cause a backup into living areas, attics and basements. Signs of buildup of this colorless, odorless gas include: stuffy, stale, or smelly air; high humidity; and soot from fireplaces or furnaces. To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and chimney fires, the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG), and the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) ALL recommend annual inspection of all fireplaces, chimneys, and vents—regardless of how much they are used. At least one inspection and cleaning per year ensures that there are no obstructions that could cause a chimney fire or force deadly carbon monoxide into your home.

Did you know that gas and oil furnaces are NOT maintenance-free? Even if your gas or oil company occasionally services your burner, they are not qualified to inspect or clean your flue. Gary and sons have extensive knowledge of these systems. To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, gas and oil appliances as well as woodburning fireplaces and stoves should be inspected and cleaned yearly.
