We understand the importance of a well-maintained fireplace and are dedicated to ensuring you're ready to have a beautiful fireplace for years to come. Here's some information to help you maintain your fireplace:

• Clean the Firebox: Regularly clean the firebox to prevent soot and creosote buildup, which can lead to fires.
• Inspect the Chimney: Have your chimney cleaned annually to remove debris and nesting materials.
• Keep the Damper Working Properly: Make sure the damper opens and closes easily, and vents properly.
• Use Dry Wood: Use seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20%.
• Store Wood Properly: Store wood for use next year so it has time to dry.
• Use a Fire Extinguisher: Keep a fire extinguisher handy in case a spark starts a fire.
• Don't use gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal starter.
• Don't burn painted or pressure-treated logs or plywood.
• Don't use wet, rotten, diseased, or moldy wood.
• Don't use traditional glass cleaners on fireplace glass, as they can damage the glass.
