5 Reasons to Sweep in the Spring 1. Price - The demand for having the chimney ready for the holiday parties that exceeds the supply of chimney sweeps is no longer driving the cost. (*40% this April) 2. Protection - Creosote is acidic and will errode the masonry and corrode the metal of the chimney. Sweeping just before you start using it means your chimney is under constant assault. Whereas sweeping in the Spring eliminates potentially 6-8 months of wear on your chimney. A ...30 year old chimney may then only have 10-15 years of wear on it. 3. Preparation - In the event that your chimney is in need of repair, you have several months to save up the money and then have the repairs completed before the next burning season begins. 4. Peace of Mind - Sometimes that first brief cold snap comes in September other times, late October. Instead of trying to get on your chimney sweeps schedule, like everyone else, you can go ahead an enjoy a fire because you planned ahead. 5. Potentially you can save on your energy bill. 75% of the chimneys I sweep have the damper open. Chimneys swept in the Spring, Summer and early Fall usually have not been in use for a while. That means dampers were left open because homeowners either forget or never close them. Leaving a damper open is akin to leaving a window open. Experts say this could amount to a loss of $300-$500 in the annual energy bill, much more than the cost of a sweep. I always leave the dampers closed when I leave a residence unless instructed otherwise. See more

It's almost time for the Chimney Swifts to arrive. You might be tempted to prevent them from roosting in your chimney but you may want to reconsider. They eat 1/3 of their body weight each day in mosquitos, biting flies flying ants and termites. Because their natural habitat is disappearing they seek refuge in chimneys. Take advantage of our off-season discounts and have your chimney swept, it may encourage one of these natural exterminators to come protect your yard this Spring.
