2. Burn Proper Wood in Your Fireplace

Can’t remember when you had your fireplace inspected? That means it is time! Initiate your winter safety checklist by scheduling an annual fireplace inspection with us. Over time, chimneys can accumulate debris and blockages, posing huge potential fire hazards. A professional inspection by Top Hat Chimney Sweeps will help identify and address any issues, ensuring your fireplace is in optimal condition for this upcoming winter season.

3. Remove Creosote Beore Use

Creosote, a byproduct of burning wood, accumulates within chimneys and is one of the leading causes of fires. To mitigate this risk, it’s essential to have your chimney cleaned regularly to remove creosote deposits. Top Hat Chimney Sweeps recommends scheduling a chimney sweep (chimney cleaning) before winter begins to ensure a safe and efficient fireplace this winter.

4. Dryer Vent Maintenance Every 6-12 Months

While chimney safety is especially crucial, we don’t want you to overlook the importance of maintaining your dryer vents. Lint accumulation in vents can reduce efficiency and pose a serious fire hazard. Top Hat recommends professional vent cleaning every 6-12 months to prevent lint buildup and ensure safe dryer operation throughout the winter.

5. Dryer Lint Filter Cleaning

In addition to professional cleanings, we advise daily maintenance habits. After each use, clean out your dryer lint trap. This simple task improves efficiency and reduces the risk of lint igniting, contributing to a safer home during winter and throughout the year.
