Safety first
A small service
prevents big problems.
Most chimney fires, dryer fires and heat pump failures are completely preventable. Our technicians focus on the six issues most homeowners overlook — and we'll show you exactly what we find.
See all services →1
Creosote buildup
Even a thin glaze of creosote can ignite at flue temperatures a hot fire easily reaches. Annual sweeps remove it before it becomes fuel.
2
Airflow & draft
Blocked caps, broken liners and animal nests choke airflow, push smoke into your home and lower stove efficiency.
3
Dryer lint fires
Clogged dryer vents cause thousands of home fires every year. Cleaning restores airflow and shortens drying cycles.
4
Heat pump hygiene
Mini-split heads collect mold and dust on the blower wheel. Deep cleaning improves air quality and lowers bills.
5
Stove efficiency
Worn gaskets, ash buildup and damaged baffles burn more wood for less heat. Maintenance restores output.
6
Seasonal timing
Book before October. Heating-season schedules fill quickly in both Maine and Pennsylvania.

FAQ
Answers from our techs.
Quick answers to what Maine and Pennsylvania homeowners ask us most. Don't see your question? Call your nearest location.
Yes. The NFPA recommends an annual inspection at minimum. Even one full burn season can deposit enough creosote to cause a flue fire, especially if you're burning unseasoned wood.
