Fireplace Cleaning 411

Winter is a time for families to celebrate the holidays and gather indoors, so act early! It’s also the perfect time to run a fireplace. However, it is common to start burning yuletide logs before getting an indoor air quality check as well as a full air cleaning. Here is why you should handle fireplace cleaning before the coldest weather hits the Greenville area.

Fireplace Maintenance

Your home’s indoor air quality depends on a number of factors, including air filtration and the regularity of duct cleaning. When a team of professionals gets inside ducts to remove bacteria and mold spores that gather inside the system, your family will breathe easier on a daily basis. Burning wood in fireplaces often adds to the amount of dust particles accumulating indoors.

The start of winter is the perfect time to address this issue. Fireplace cleaning gives professionals the chance to remove byproducts of burnt wood (i.e., soot). At the same time, a cleaning crew will take a look at airflow in the chimney to make sure fumes are exiting and the flue is working properly. Even when fumes circulate through a home for a short time, the effects can be very hard on those suffering from respiratory issues. Annual fireplace maintenance limits the possibility of this happening.

Winter Comfort and Warmth

Frigid weather has hit Greenville for each of the last several winters, making homes with a fireplace more attractive (and valuable) than ever. When families gather around burning logs throughout the cold seasons, the comfort level of a home rises dramatically. Though it may be hard to get the full family to agree on entertainment choices some nights, a working fireplace is a great attraction.

It may become unpleasant running the fireplace in homes when ducts and carpeting are full of dust and debris. That’s why it’s important to check the duct work and get carpets cleaned. Indoor circulation becomes problematic when fresh air is reduced. Clogged ducts and lingering soot from the previous year’s fires will make the situation worse. With a quick visit from professionals, you can remove these concerns and enjoy the time with family and visiting relatives.

Annual fireplace cleaning ensures that there will be no interruption of fireplace use until the final thaw at the end of the season. When you act early on, your family can enjoy a full winter of captivating fires and clear air. Have ZEROREZ® clean your home’s fireplace and ducts to set the tone for a great winter.
