Keeping your chimney clean should be a top priority if you have one, but when should you get it cleaned or sweep it? If you don’t use it regularly, the answer is at least once a year; this should be just before winter or right after winter. If you frequently use your fireplace, it’s best to have it a chimney sweep service twice a year, once just before winter and once mid-winter. This way, you prevent unnecessary fires and damages to your property and your health.  

Definitely! Gas is a relatively clean-burning fuel, and gas fireplaces do not produce creosote. However, there are a slew of additional elements that can wreak havoc on your chimney's performance. Animal nests or other detritus, for example, might clog your chimney. A chimney sweep will check for carbon monoxide leaks, structural concerns, and ventilation difficulties in your gas-burning fireplace and chimney, ensuring that your system is safe to use.

When there is sooty build-up and creosote in a brick chimney, it should be cleaned. With a considerably thinner build-up on the inside walls, factory-built insert fireplaces can really constitute a hazard. Because even a cord of wood can reach a dangerous degree of combustion, you may need to clean your fireplace once or twice a year.

Even if you don't use your chimney very often, there's always the possibility that animals have built nests in it over the summer, causing an obstruction, or that leaves have accumulated. Although natural gas is cleaner than wood, the fumes produce more water vapor than wood fires. This implies that the chloride-containing gases will condense more, perhaps forming a hydrochloric acid coating on the furnace flues. These systems should be examined, and a chimney sweep service should happen, at least once a year because this is a highly corrosive chemical.

There are various reasons for a chimney to start smoking. It could be just one, or it could be a combination of causes. YourPro recommends taking action immediately as smoke annihilation can be extremely harmful to you and your family. 

Here are some of the main causes for chimneys to smoke:

• A blocked chimney: A blocked chimney could happen over time as the smoke, other fumes and gasses build up on the inside of your chimney walls. To prevent this from happening or stopping it altogether, you can get your chimney swept. The chimney sweep will advise you on further steps that need to be taken.  
• Downdraught: Downdraught is the puffs of smoke pushed back into the room by air that flows down through the chimney. This could be because your chimney stack is too short, or because buildings, trees or other large objects are blocking the wind flow through the chimney. To help with this, you can request your chimney sweep to fit a cowl on top of the chimney. You need to ensure that the cowl is the correct size and fitted correctly; otherwise, it could worsen the problem. 
• Not enough ventilation: It’s a well-known fact that all fires need air to burn, but too much or too little air could cause problems. If your home doesn’t have proper ventilation, it won’t allow replacement air into the room. This could cause the fire to burn rapidly and cause damage to the fireplace and anything around it. To prevent this, you can simply leave the door open, but that defeats the purpose of the fire. The best option is to get proper ventilation for your home or the room where the fireplace is built. 
• Cold air in your chimney: If you haven’t used your fireplace in a very long time, the air inside your chimney will get cold. This cold air is heavy, and if your flue doesn’t heat up quickly, the cold air can drag the smoke back into the room. To resolve this, you can burn newspapers. Newspaper burns fast, so it will heat quicker and push the air back up.
