Cleaning / Maintenance of Fireplace Chimney
Our company's many years of experience have taught us that for a fireplace to function and perform properly, regular cleaning of the chimney is required at least once a year. During the burning of wood, in addition to heat, flue gases are produced which contain, among other things, creosote and tar. The smoke that settles on the walls of the chimney prevents the proper attraction of the smoke, resulting in its unpleasant diffusion in the room, as well as harmful effects on your health. An unclean chimney acts like a poorly maintained device of incomplete combustion, resulting in the additional burden of CO2 and CO on the environment. However, the main reason why the chimney must be regularly cleaned is the risk of it igniting, with unpredictable consequences such as fire, even its total destruction. This is because the creosote that has accumulated inside the chimney is a highly flammable material. Creosote burns violently and develops extremely high temperatures. Our company undertakes, with an absolute guarantee, the cleaning of fireplace chimneys so that you can rest assured about their safe and trouble-free operation.
If the consumption of wood in your fireplace exceeds one ton (equivalent to two cubic meters of wood), annual cleaning of the chimney is necessary. Factors that contribute to the concentration of smoke and necessitate minimum annual chimney cleaning, even with wood consumption below one ton, include:
