Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps cleans gas and oil furnace flues, too!
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.
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.
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. Improper drafting can cause inefficient furnace operation leading to higher fuel costs.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure… don’t put off your annual chimney inspection!
No chimney lasts forever without a little TLC now and then, but with an annual cleaning and inspection by Fire-Safe, we’ll help to ensure that your Wilmington chimney remains as care-free and structurally sound as possible.
