01 — What it is

Why a chimney needs yearly cleaning.

Burning wood gradually builds up soot and creosote — flammable tar deposits — on the chimney walls. They narrow the flue, worsen the draft and are the most common cause of chimney fires.

A clean flue draws better, so wood burns more efficiently and uses less fuel. That means a warmer home for less money and — crucially — a much lower fire risk. This is why Cabinet Regulation No. 238 requires regular flue cleaning and documentation.

For solid fuel heating, the chimney should be cleaned at least once a year, best before the heating season. With heavy use or wet wood, creosote builds up faster and cleaning is needed more often.
