Ace Chimney Sweeps: Offering Expert Chimney Sweep Services To Newark, DE

When Should I Book My Chimney Inspection Near Me?

The general rule of thumb recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is to have your chimney inspected at least once a year. But when exactly should you make the appointment?

The ideal time to book your chimney inspection is during the off-season – in the early spring through the late summer. This timing allows plenty of room to schedule repairs or cleaning before you plan to light your first fire of the season. By beating the fall rush, you avoid long wait times or less convenient scheduling.

This also allows sweeps to get a clear picture of any damage caused over the winter. Moisture, creosote buildup, and freeze-thaw cycles can all take a toll on masonry and flue components. Catching issues early means more time for repairs…and less chance of having to delay your fireplace use when the cold arrives.

Early fall can also be a good time to schedule, as appointment books shouldn’t be getting too busy quite yet. The bigger issue here is if damages are discovered, in which case you’ll need to start booking into later fall – which can lead to delays in your burn season.

Regardless of the season, though, if you notice any signs of trouble in your fireplace, whether it’s visible damage or problems with efficiency, you should schedule an inspection.

And yes – even if you rarely use your fireplace, an annual inspection is still the right approach. Flue blockages, structural damage, or animal entry can occur, even without regular use, going unnoticed until they pose a serious hazard. Not to mention, no record of maintenance makes it harder to get insurance coverage should damage occur.
