The Best Time To Get Your Chimney Swept

While many people don’t put much thought into their chimney and fireplace maintenance until it’s time to start using them, this is not the best way to keep your chimney in check. Although we agree with “better late than never,” we recommend getting ahead of the curve with your annual chimney checklist by scheduling your cleaning in the spring!

Why Schedule Your Chimney Cleaning In The Spring?

Appointment Availability

The earlier your maintenance is scheduled, the simpler the process will be! As fall and winter approach, many highly rated companies will begin to book up and become less available for appointments. Waiting until fall or winter for your chimney cleaning could leave you at risk of having to consider less desirable companies and sub-par maintenance.

Springtime Steals

During the slower months, such as spring, many chimney companies will offer better prices and sales on your cleaning service, saving you money in the long run! If you schedule your service in the winter, you’ll be competing for higher prices and fewer appointment times along with the other latecomers.

It’s Simply A Safer Time To Clean

Working outside in the harsh winter conditions can make the job more difficult for your sweep. There are a multitude of ways the job can become less effective or even dangerous due to potential ice, snow, and faulty or difficult-to-use equipment. Although the job is not impossible, completing it becomes much more challenging as you enter the colder seasons.

Leaving Time For Repairs

Occasionally, during a chimney sweep or an inspection, your technicians may come across another pressing issue in your chimney that could affect your fireplace’s safety or efficiency. When these damages or problems are found, your chimney sweep will likely suggest a repair to correct the issue. The earlier you schedule your annual maintenance, the more time you will have to complete these repairs before fireplace season is back in session!

In Conclusion

Spring is the perfect time to schedule your chimney cleaning and stay ahead of necessary maintenance. If you wait until the fall or winter to sweep your chimney, you could be left out in the cold with longer wait times, higher costs, and even unexpected repairs.
