    Great experiences with Ignite Chimney! I am a realtor and they have served my clients so well with multiple inspections and just recently worked on the fireplace in my 100 year old home. Great communication about the scheduling of services and incredibly knowledgeable about the function, utility, construction and safety of all things "fireplace/chimney". I highly recommend Ignite Chimney!

    From start to finish IGNITE was truly professional and a pleasure to work with. Tommy came to my house explained everything he was doing step by step and why. Had downdrafting issues from my Hot water tank. He was patient, listened to my concerns and went above and beyond in every aspect. Stop looking for your next Chimney company if you are having issues, I've used others and IGNITE sets the standards on how to do things. Thanks again to Tommy and everyone at IGNITE.

FAQ

How much does Ignite Chimney & Fireplace charge for a chimney inspection, and do you offer free estimates?

Pricing for our chimney inspections starts around $190 and varies based on the fireplace make, model, and condition of your chimney. We determine costs after a thorough assessment to ensure you receive value through detailed safety checks and informative guidance on maintenance. Free estimates are not available, but we provide transparent pricing upfront to help you understand what you're paying for.

Are you licensed and insured?

Ignite Chimney & Fireplace carries full licensing and insurance to protect your home during chimney sweeps and inspections. Our professionals follow industry standards for safe, expert service on heating systems. This coverage gives homeowners confidence that any potential issues are handled responsibly.

Does Ignite Chimney & Fireplace handle creosote removal and safety inspections for older homes?

We perform thorough chimney cleaning, creosote removal, and safety inspections tailored to older homes, including those over 100 years old with draft issues. Our process addresses heavy creosote buildup in flues and pots, ensuring proper ventilation and fire hazard prevention. These services restore efficiency to furnaces and fireplaces even in harsh winter conditions.

What is the typical timeline for a chimney sweep with you?

We schedule services with clear arrival windows and complete most chimney sweeps, including inspections, in 90 minutes to two and a half hours depending on chimney height and complexity. You can remain in the home during the process unless a safety concern arises. Our team provides updates on timeline and next steps for your convenience.

What does Ignite Chimney & Fireplace do for cleanup after a chimney sweep?

We use protective sheeting around the fireplace opening, specialized vacuums, and tools to contain all soot, creosote, and debris during cleaning. Waste is fully removed, and the work area is left clean, often cleaner than before. This no-mess approach protects your floors, furnishings, and home from dust.

Why is it safer to hire you instead of doing a chimney sweep myself?

Our professionals use specialized vacuums, brushes, and inspection techniques to fully remove creosote, nests, and blockages from the firebox to the flue top, which DIY methods can't reach safely. We identify hidden issues like moisture damage or ventilation problems that prevent fires and ensure year-round efficiency. Homeowners avoid risks by trusting our training over partial cleanings with brushes and cleaners.
