Homeowners

While many Americans are struggling to keep up with regular home maintenance expenses, the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) shares the reminder that saving money in the short term by delaying routine maintenance may mean additional expense in the long run. Preventative maintenance is one way to keep down the cost of keeping your home safe and warm this season. 
The National Chimney Sweep Guild and the National Fire Protection Association both recommend that homeowners call a professional chimney sweep for an annual chimney inspection. Only a qualified professional will be able to identify and resolve maintenance issues before potential carbon monoxide intrusion and chimney fire hazards risk your time, health or money. 
NCSG encourages homeowners to hire professional chimney sweeps with verifiable memberships, credentials and insurance.  NCSG members have access to the latest training and equipment used in the industry and have agreed to abide by a formal Code of Ethics.   Homeowners may locate an NCSG member company by visiting www.ncsg.org.
