Why Cleaning Your Fireplace Matters

All gas fireplace manufacturers recommend yearly maintenance to ensure your fireplace is working safely and efficiently. We advise having your fireplace serviced each summer, before the heating season begins, to beat the fall rush.

Reasons to Have Your Fireplace Cleaned

• Improved Efficiency - Over time, soot and creosote build up in the chimney. Buildup prevents heat from efficiently escaping the home through the chimney. A clean chimney allows the fireplace to work as intended.
• Reduced Risk of Chimney Fires - Creosote is highly flammable. If allowed to build up, creosote can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire. Regular cleanings remove creosote and greatly reduce house fire risks.
• Improved Appearance - Soot and ash residue make your fireplace look dirty and dingy. Professional cleaning gives a fresh and inviting look.
• Prevent Damage - Creosote and soot slowly damage the masonry and mortar of the chimney over time. Cleanings prevent deterioration and the need for expensive repairs down the road.

When it comes to the safety of your family, home or business, taking chances by ignoring your fireplace maintenance schedule isn't worth it. Badgerland Fireplace makes it easy to keep your fireplace clean and safe. When the weather turns cold you can sit back, relax and enjoy the ambiance of a beautiful fire.
