Perhaps you’ve recently bought a new (old) house, and it came with a crumbling open hearth. Or your grandmother passed along the family woodstove and you’re questioning if your unused chimney could be cleaned up for use again.
Whatever the reason, it’s a question that plagues many people. Can an old chimney be repaired? Can you replace the existing fireplace? Or put in gas or pellet when it was always wood before?
You’re celebrating the beginning of summer right now. After the year we’ve all had, we’re looking forward to a few great months of beautiful weather. In between getting a tan at the beach and enjoying a scrumptious afternoon BBQ with your loved ones, take a moment to remember the importance of performing an annual inspection and sweeping of your wood chimney vent.
While the weather remains chilly, you still get to enjoy the cozy blaze of your wood stove and fireplace. When summer comes, you’ll be moving your fireside gatherings backyards, of course. Don’t forget to give your indoor fireplace some summertime love! This is the season to sweep your chimneys and wood stoves before getting into seasonal use again.
