Questions
What makes WETT certification important for chimney services?
WETT certification ensures technicians meet national safety standards for chimney inspections and installations. Our certified team follows strict protocols to guarantee code compliance, insurance requirements, and optimal system performance.
How often should chimneys be inspected?
Annual inspections are recommended by NFPA211. Homes with heavy usage or older systems may require more frequent checks. We offer three inspection levels to match your specific safety and maintenance needs.
Do you offer installation services for all heating system types?
We install gas, wood, and pellet stoves with appropriate chimney solutions. As Regency's Key Dealer, we provide full access to their product line while ensuring proper code-compliant installations for any fuel type.
What are the benefits of upgrading to EPA-certified stoves?
EPA 2020 models produce 95% less particulate emissions than older units while improving efficiency by 30-50%. This reduces environmental impact, lowers fuel costs, and minimizes maintenance requirements through advanced combustion technology.
Can you repair existing chimney systems?
We offer comprehensive repair services including re-pointing, relining, raincap installation, and structural masonry work. Our technicians assess damage extent and provide cost-effective solutions to restore system safety and functionality.
How do heating system inspections work?
Inspections involve visual checks, combustion testing, and code compliance verification. Level 1 covers basic access areas, Level 2 includes component evaluation, while Level 3 requires concealed access for complete diagnostics with detailed reporting.
