Insert fans sit low and collect dust, pet hair and lint until the airflow fades and the motor starts to grumble. For Chimney Sweep New Westminster, Gas Fireplace Cleaning includes pulling the blower and clearing the housing, not just wiping the glass. Wood inserts get equal attention: a Chimney Sweep keeps the flue clear while we clean the fan that pushes heat into the room. Plenty of homes around New Westminster lean on an insert for steady warmth, so a quiet, working blower matters.
The flue is brushed and vacuumed, then the area around the insert is cleaned of ash and dust so warm air has an easy path out into the room.
Fans are removed where possible, vacuumed, wiped and tested, which restores airflow and turns up any rubbing, buzzing or squealing.
Moving to a place with real winters brings plenty of surprises, and the fireplace is often one of them. Where should the wood be stored? How often does a chimney need attention when it works for months on end? What does a gas unit do when the temperature plunges?
Chimney Sweep New Westminster is glad to answer every one of those questions without making you feel behind. We explain how winter weather affects chimneys, which habits keep a fire clean and what routine care looks like through a long heating season.
Newcomers to New Westminster are welcome to ask anything, from the most basic question to a detail that has been nagging them. A fireplace is much more enjoyable once you understand how it works.
