Q: What’s the best time of year to clean a chimney?

• <div><p>The best time to clean your chimney is before you need to use it, which for most people is during the spring, summer, or early fall. Spring and summer are often ideal because the chimney is not in use, and chimney sweeps can access the roof more easily without snow and ice. The warmer months are also better for making any necessary repairs. To avoid the rush when chimney sweeps get booked up in early spring and late fall, scheduling your cleaning for the summer can be a safe bet. It's recommended to book your annual chimney sweep during these warmer months to maintain a yearly schedule.</p></div>

Q: Should a chimney be sealed?

• <div><p>Chimneys should either be sealed or waterproofed, which is different from sealing off&mdash;closing at both ends&mdash;a chimney. Waterproofing and sealing are both crucial steps to take to prevent water damage and the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/chimney-leaking-inside-house.htm">chimney leaking inside the house</a>. While waterproofing is more comprehensive, both help safeguard your chimney, extending its life span and preventing expensive repairs. </p></div>

Q: Can you move a chimney?

• <div><p>Moving a chimney is possible, but it is a very complex process that requires professional expertise, knowledge of building codes, and safety protocols. Most homeowners find it easier to remove the fireplace and build a new fireplace and chimney in the new location of your home. Talk to your chimney pro about all your options, their costs, and pros and cons. </p></div>

Q: How long will a 40-lb bag of pellets burn?

• <div><p>A 40-pound bag of wood pellets can provide a solid 24 hours or so of burn time, though the exact length may vary. If you&rsquo;re using your pellet stove as an exclusive heat source during the winter, you&rsquo;ll need an estimated 100 to 150 of those 40-pound bags, depending on how hot you like to keep your home, its size, the climate, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: Why does my fireplace glass turn black so fast?

• <div><p>If there&rsquo;s a draft within your fireplace, it can lead to a weakening of its flame. And when the fire burns the wood, it won&rsquo;t burn effectively, resulting in a build up of soot and smoke. If you notice this happening, you&rsquo;ll want to inspect the glass to see where the draft is getting in. You can also hire a fireplace repair pro to do the work for you. </p></div>
