How Often Should I Have My Chimney Cleaned?
A wood-burning chimney should be cleaned as often as necessary to prevent the flammable deposits of creosote from reaching dangerously high levels. The frequency of cleaning depends on many variables, but the most important are:
How much wood has gone through the system since last cleaning?
2 cords of wood is sometimes stated as a rule of thumb between cleanings, but certain outdated and inefficient systems need cleaning every 0.5 cord. (A cord of wood fits into a 4’x8’x4′ container.)
What is the quality of the wood?
Hardwood such as Oak, Walnut and Almond are much denser, provide more heat per log and burn longer and cleaner. Softwood such as Pine, Spruce and Fir are less dense, burn quicker and promote more creosote build-up than hardwood.
Burn only seasoned firewood (Seasoned Softwood 6-12 months, Hardwood 1-2 years, split to thickness of 6-8 inches, stacked outdoors, off the ground, top covered, sides open for ventilation).
What is the quality of your stove, fireplace or insert?
It all starts with your firebox, the more outdated the less efficient it will be. Non-EPA certified appliances will usually promote quicker creosote build-up and require more maintenance.
