If your chimney is dirty or in need of repair, you will definitely need things checked out before lighting any fires. When it comes to hiring a chimney professional, you want to know you are getting the best service possible. If the job is not done right you will face countless issues and could wind up causing further damage down the line.

On top of this, dirty chimneys heighten the risk of chimney fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and smoke back-up, all of which threaten the health of friends and family within the home. To ensure you get a technician who know what they are doing, follow these guidelines when you hire you next chimney sweep.

Check For References

Try to find out how a company has treated previous customers before investing your time and money into their services. Browse their website or search the web to find online reviews. If you still come up short, contact the company themselves! Any well-run business will be happy to provide a list of satisfied customers who can vouch for their customer service.

Do Some Research

Look into the company and answer the following questions before taking any further steps.

  •  How long has the company been in business?
  •  Do they have complaints logged with the Better Business Bureau? If so, have they been resolved?
  •  Do they offer liability insurance?

These three questions can make all the difference when deciding which company you want to hire. Any company that has been around for years and years is obviously doing something right. Also, if they strive to offer you the protection you deserve, you know you are working with someone you can trust!

Check For CSIA Certification

One of the most important things to check for is a CSIA certification. The CSIA holds the standard when it comes to installations, inspections, repairs, cleanings, and more! Having a trained technician sign off on any job you need, ensures that everything was properly inspected and that your appliance will run as efficiently as possible.
