Here's a brief description of some of the services Barney can do for you:

Fireplace Cleaning and inspections - Barney will clean your woodburning open hearth fireplace, gas log fireplace, or fireplace insert for a standard fee that includes a safety inspection.

Heater Flu Cleaning, Inspection, Repair Estimates - When an oil or gas heater is vented into your chimney, maintainance is necessary to keep it safe. Barney can diagnose issues that can lead to an unsafe condition.

Chimney Relining - One solution for an unsafe condition in a chimney that is deteriorating is installing a metal chimney liner, usually stainless steel, to replace the original fireclay liner.

Woodstoves and Fireplace Inserts - Our suppliers offer a variety of appliances that can be installed in your home. Your hearth can be a family gathering place around a real fire that's safe and warm.

Install Chimney Caps - A cap will protect your home from the elements like rain, as well as prohibit local wildlife: squirrels, birds and an occasional raccoon from getting into your chimney. Maintaining the chimney in this way will ensure that damage can be minimized.

Install a Fireplace Damper - The heat loss that occurs when you are not burning wood in your open hearth can be significant. To install a damper or repair one that is not working properly can save you money and energy expense.

ChimScan Camera Inspection - When a chimney fire occurs, this service provides a way to view the interior damage that is not possible any other way. For this service, the chimney must be cleaned thoroughly first, removing any creosote buildup and soot.

Creosote Removal - The soot that builds up over time and is not cleaned off the inside of the chimney becomes a highly flammable substance called creosote. Many people are not even aware that this is in their chimney or that a chimney fire may have occurred in the past. Removal of this substance, and an annual cleaning and inspection of your chimney can lead to many years of safe burning in your fireplace.
