Chimney and Fireplaces
You probably know what fireplaces and chimneys are: a small stove in your house to burn wood for extra warmth and a tube-like structure that directs smoke from the fire out of the house. You may think this is a simple construction, but it has many components that all need to be properly maintained. The main thing you need to concern yourself with is the buildup of creosote. Creosote is a substance that will accumulate in the chimney flue over time because of smoke and ash which is extremely combustible and will cause chimney fires. Therefore, it is very important to have your chimney and fireplace cleaned routinely. At Apex Chimney Repair, your safety is our number one concern, which is why we are dedicated to providing quality service. Give us a call today to ask us about a fireplace or chimney cleaning to remove any dangerous buildup.
We also offer fireplace and chimney repair services. The panels and lining of your chimney and fireplace are designed to protect the adjacent walls from too much heat while also reflecting warmth back into your home. It is exceedingly important that the paneling and lining are properly maintained to prevent any unwanted fires. At Apex Chimney Repair, we inspect, repair, and replace tiles and lining. You can probably inspect the panels in your fireplace by yourself; according to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, if there are cracks in your fireplace that are large enough to fit a dime into, the panels need to be replaced. Inspecting the flue lining is more difficult; the professionals at Apex Chimney Repair are available to come to your Essex home and use a camera scope to assess your flue’s condition. In addition to this, we are happy to fix any damages to the door, grate, cap, or crown of your fireplace. Do not hesitate to reach out if you think your fireplace or chimney has sustained damage.
Air Ducts
Keeping your air ducts clean is very important because it can affect the health of those residing in your Essex home. Air ducts are responsible for directing air in ventilation, air conditioning, and heating systems. Air ducts help to keep your house cool or warm, but they also filter and clean the air in the building, which is why clean air ducts means clean air. If there is buildup in your air ducts from dust, debris, or dead insects, all of that is mixing in with the air that flows through your house. We recommend that you have a professional clean your air ducts every three years, but if you cannot remember when the last time was, feel free to give us a call. Furthermore, air ducts that are clean will function more efficiently which will help keep energy usage and costs down. Keeping your air ducts clean and replacing the filters regularly will help to maintain the comfort and efficiency of your home in North Caldwell, NJ. Feel free to contact the professionals at Apex Chimney Repair today to learn more.
Dryer Vents
A dryer vent is what it sounds like: a small vent behind your dryer through which hot air, laden with water and debris from your laundry, leaves the dryer and your house. It is important that the dryer vent be cleaned because it can cause fires in a similar way to chimneys; over time debris and dust will build up which can ignite when overheated. We know it is vital to keep your dryer vent clean which is why this is another service we offer at Apex Chimney Repair to the residents of North Caldwell, NJ. We recommend that you have your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year; it should be cleaned more often if you have a larger household and are doing more laundry. No matter what your fireplace, chimney, or ventilation needs are, Apex Chimney Repair is staffed by experienced professionals who are ready to give you additional information about chimney services and more.
