"Overall I would recommend ACT air duct cleaning. I live in a 1913 colonial and I doubt this has ever been done in this house. I did some research on the EPAs website on this service and read a lot about it beforehand. The team arrived on time and answered all of my questions before they got started. I was glad I educated myself a little bit beforehand so that I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. The process and tools ACT uses to do their job is interesting and seems very thorough. When reading their website I didn't understand that they were going to cut a hole in one of my air ducts. My husband would have had a fit if they'd done that, so I told them they would have to come up with a work around for that. They talked with Jared (owner) and then figured out a work around. The team was very polite and kept me informed of the process. I will say that there is some dust associated with this process. Meaning that you can get some "blowback" from some of the vents. They went around with a vacume and cleaned up any mess they found from "blowback". The team cleaned up very well and left my house as they found it. I have noticed a big difference with the decrease in dust in my house since this service has been performed. I'm glad I did this. I got the Angie's list deal on this service so I thought it was a really good deal.

"I have been using them for 3 years for multiple projects and would not go to somebody else. They also built a cabin in the woods. It was built 10 miles from the road so it was like carrying all the stuff up the path. They also did the garage and remodeling of the house, mostly kitchen and a little bit of plumbing work in the bathroom. I am still using them and I would be using them for the next thing that will be coming up too."

You should get your chimney cleaned around once per year, but you might want to opt for bi-annual cleanings if you use your fireplace often. Remember, your boiler likely vents into your chimney as well, so cleaning is required even if you don’t use your fireplace. It’s a good idea to clean your chimney during the summer so that it’s ready to use when you want a worry-free cozy fire on that first crisp autumn night of the season.
You should not use Windex or any other ammonia-based glass cleaners when cleaning the glass doors or glass front panel of a gas fireplace. Instead, remove the glass and lay it on a soft surface, like a drop cloth or towel. Then clean it using a specialty fireplace glass cleaner purchased at a hardware store or online. If the glass is relatively clean, you can get away with a vinegar and water solution, but tougher stains will require a specialized cleaner.
Your chimney comes with dampers, which are similar to air vents. Dampers are metal plates that allow hot air and smoke to flow from the fireplace up your chimney and out of your home. When you close the damper, it prevents cool air from getting into your home. This is why you’ll want to check to make sure your damper is open before starting your fireplace and you want to ensure it’s closed after the fire goes out. You can open and close them via an external knob, pull chain, or lever.
A chimney cap typically lasts between three and 25 years. This wide range is due to several variables, including the material it's made from, the local climate, and how frequently you use your fireplace. Living in an area with severe weather can shorten its lifespan. Regular inspections, maintenance, and minor repairs as needed can help your chimney cap last as long as possible.
The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
