How often should I have my chimney swept in West Side, NJ?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney cleaning for regularly used fireplaces. If you burn wood frequently during winter months, you definitely need yearly service.Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, annual inspection is smart.

The inspection catches problems before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards.
