Proper care and maintenance for your home’s ventilation systems (including the chimney, dryer vent, and air ducts) keeps your family healthy and safe.
Q: How often should I have my chimney swept?
Here at Top Hat, we follow the guidelines of The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211, which says,
“Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.”
Whoa – does this apply to ALL chimneys, fireplaces, and vents? Why every year?
This is the national safety standard, and it takes into account the fact that – even if you don’t use your chimney much – animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe.
