Chimney Sweeping Regulations and Recommendations

Chimney sweeping is subject to strict regulations that vary depending on local ordinances or your home insurance policy. To understand the specific requirements in your area, it's advisable to contact your local municipality and consult the departmental health regulations.

Generally, it is recommended to have your chimney swept twice a year—once during the heating season, especially for wood, oil, and coal heating systems, and once a year for gas chimneys.

Additionally, insurance providers typically require at least one annual maintenance check to ensure safety and compliance.
