Duct Cleaning Toronto Blog

Do you REALLY know if your fireplace or chimney are dirty?

Do you have that nagging little thought in the back of you mind when you start a fire? When did I have this chimney last looked at? Am I going to have a problem this time.

The fact is if you haven’t had the chimney or fireplace looked at in a while, chances are that your chimney should at least be inspected before it is used.

Even if you don’t use the fireplace, deterioration can happen. Water can wreak havoc on a chimney system and create problems that you don’t even know that you have.

So if you haven’t had it looked at or cleaned recently. Give us a call, and we will be happy to put your mind at ease.

A home heating furnace should be properly maintained to achieve maximum efficiency and avoid costly repairs. The calendar is the best assistant to proper furnace maintenance. At least once a year, before the furnace is in operation, it should be checked for possible problems.

Contemporary furnaces are manufactured for safety as well as energy efficiency. Most have vent and combustion piping, fuel supply and piping, electrical wiring and ductwork connections. If heat is vented through a galvanized steel ductwork system, the ductwork should be cleaned to remove dust that accumulates over time. This is a very important factor in furnace operation. When too much dust accumulates in ductwork, the end result is an inefficient and potentially unsafe furnace.

Furnace Cleaning Services

Furnace cleaning services should be professionally certified. Some furnace cleaning services offer contract plans that are renewed annually, while others offer service on an “as needed” basis. The length of the duct system and the number of heat registers and returns may determine the cost of furnace cleaning services. The condition of the furnace ducts to be cleaned will also likely be a factor.
