FAQ

The Chimney industry is often misunderstood, with many thinking of these professionals as relics of a by-gone age. However, this multi-million dollar industry is constructed of skilled experts who will give you the information you need to ensure that your chimney is safe and in good working condition.

What is a Chimney Sweep?

A chimney sweep is a process of which ash, soot, dirt and sometimes even animal nesting material is removed from chimney flues.

How often should my chimney be cleaned?

It is recommended by the National Fire Protection Agency that your chimney undergo a yearly inspection, with cleaning and repairs done as necessary.

Do I need to have my chimney cleaned if I heat with gas?

Yes. Gas is a clean burning fuel that does not leave ash or soot behind, however your chimney may become non-fuctional due to birds nests and other debris. It is also recommended to have your chimney inspected annually to avoid carbon monoxide issues which are almost always the result of poor ventilation.

Will a chimney cleaning leave dust all over my house?

No. Here at Miller's Chimney we always lay cloth tarps and cloth runners down around the working area. We use vacuums and other systems designed for dust control. Your home will be in the same shape it was before our technician arrived.

What should I do if my fireplace smells?

The stench is most likely the result of creosote deposits, a natural wood-burning byproduct. The summer humidity tends to make it worse. A good annual cleaning may or may not solve the problem, and preferred solutions vary.

What is a chimney liner?

A chimney liner is a stainless steel tube inserted inside of chimney to vent a woodstove, furnace or fireplace. Without one, the heat would transfer through brick and mortar causing the chimney to deteriorate.

What is the difference between a Level I and Level II Inspection?

A Level I Inspection is a visual inspection done with basic digital photography, and is recommended for a chimney that receives continued service. A Level II Inspection is required when any changes are made to the system or the property changes hands. It's done with a closed-circuit video camera.

Trusted by some of the biggest names in the business!
Honest company that took care of my clients on both a buy and sell. Reasonable, solid repairs, responsive and definitely recommending to other clients.

Cheryl M.

I am so happy I found this company after being referred to Miller's from a real estate agent. From start to finish, I have had a great experience. Chris provided me with an honest and reasonable estimate, Rocky took great care preforming the work to my chimney and was very professional and conscientious. He went out of his way to help me schedule additional work I had asked him about for my pellet stove. Andrew and Brandon arrived promptly to clean my pellet stove and were very helpful with providing me information on care and operation. I am so appreciative for such professional service.

Exceeded all of our expectations! Chris put together a package deal that couldn't be refused! Jesse and Jimmy, the installers, were great! The actual installation was the easiest part of their day. Required 4 guys to get the 550 lb pellet stove up 12 steps, I'm sure there was some moaning, but never in front of myself, very professional. After installed, Jesse and Jimmy took an extra 90 minutes and made sure the stove was running properly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MILLER'S CHIMNEY; we are hiring them to put in a second pellet stove.

Chris and Jimmy do an excellent job. I would have them come work for me anytime and do my chimney again.

Always professional and knowledgeable. As a realtor, they have been invaluable in helping me to help my clients!

Jeannette W.

Just had a service call with Brandon Mills and his helper. They were very nice and quickly diagnosed the gas fireplace problem. A simple fix. Brandon also took the time to explain why the problem occurred and made a few suggestions. We will be giving a call back to Miller's for any fireplace service needs in the future!!! Additionally, the person that took my call and scheduled my appointment was excellent. Five star service all the way around!!!

Thomas B.

Chris and Jimmy are the best! Very professional job, honest assessment of my 22-year-old fireplace and no up–selling on repairs you really don't need that I have experienced with other chimney firms. Very fair prices and you simply cannot go wrong using this firm and Chris!!

Gregg H.

Miller's did a cleaning and changed out some piping for me and made the whole process very easy and painless from the front office to the men doing the work. I would recommend them to family & friends and will definitely use them again next year! Keep up the great job!!!!
