It’s the time of year we show our love to those around us with flowers, candy and heart-shaped cards. Why not show your chimney some love, too? After all, your chimney allows you to enjoy warm, romantic fires while keeping your home and family safe from a house fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. The best way to show your appreciation for your chimney is with a sweeping and inspection from a chimney sweep technician certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA).
No one loves your chimney like a CSIA-certified chimney sweep technician.
When you’re looking for a chimney sweep , the major problem is that anyone with the right equipment, regardless of their training or experience, can call themselves a chimney sweep. That’s why it’s important to look for a CSIA-certified chimney sweep technician. CSIA-certified technicians have to undergo training and education about the care and performance of fireplaces, chimneys and heating stoves.
CSIA-certified chimney sweep technicians are trained and must pass examinations in industry best practices for chimney cleaning and inspection; the construction and mechanics of chimneys; the process through which wood burns and creosote forms; codes and standards for the construction of chimneys and vents, and the installation of fireplaces; and EPA requirements.
No one loves their customers like a CSIA-certified chimney sweep technician.
In addition to being educated and trained in installing, cleaning and maintaining fireplaces and chimneys, CSIA-certified chimney sweep technicians pledge to uphold the CSIA’s code of conduct. That means they’ll treat you as well as they treat your chimney. Under that code of conduct, CSIA-certified sweeps must put into practice the CSIA’s industry best practices; know and comply with all local codes related to chimneys, fireplaces and heating stoves; follow all manufacturer’s instructions for installing, repairing and maintaining stoves, chimneys and fireplaces; be professional at all times; and advise their clients on safety matters related to their chimneys, fireplaces and stoves.
