Services
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup and debris from open fireplaces, wood stoves, and inserts. Our technicians use specialized equipment to clean flues, smoke chambers, and appliance connections while providing detailed condition reports. Regular maintenance prevents chimney fires and ensures proper ventilation for safe wood heating operations.
WETT Inspections
Certified WETT inspections verify wood appliance safety and compliance with Ontario Building Code standards. We assess chimney integrity, appliance clearances, and installation requirements for insurance, real estate transactions, or new installations. Our reports include recommendations for code-compliant upgrades and safety improvements.
Chimney Liner Installation
Stainless steel chimney liner installation restores damaged flue systems in masonry and prefab chimneys. We supply and install corrosion-resistant liners that improve draft efficiency, prevent heat transfer issues, and meet current safety standards for wood-burning appliances.
Ventilation Systems
Residential ventilation installations prevent dangerous smoke spillage and indoor air contamination. Our systems combat the stack effect in combustion appliances, improve heating efficiency, and enhance indoor air quality through controlled air exchange cycles for energy-efficient homes.
Wood Stove Installation
Professional wood stove and fireplace insert installations include Regency brand appliance sales, code-compliant chimney connections, and safety inspections. We ensure proper clearances, ventilation requirements, and WETT certification for new or replacement heating systems.

We've been at our new house for 8 months now and we've taken our time making renovation decisions. Don was very patient and helpful while we figured out what we wanted to finally do. Jason and James did an excellent job and went above and beyond doing us a very much needed favour getting something down from the roof. The price I was quoted way back when we first moved in was the price I paid. We love the insert, thanks Don and crew!
