Park Central chimney service from a local family company

Hosting family for the holidays and planning a fire? In Park Central, a named neighborhood of the City of Orlando, the weeks before a gathering are a good time to have the fireplace swept and checked, so the fire on the big night is warm, clean and uneventful. Demand for chimney visits rises as the weather cools, and booking early gives you the widest choice of dates.

A pre-holiday visit covers the basics. The flue is swept, the damper is checked to make sure it opens fully and closes tightly, and the firebox, smoke chamber and cap are inspected. For a gas fireplace, the burner, pilot, logs and glass are cleaned and checked, and the vent outside is looked at for nests or blockages.

If a repair turns up, you hear about it in writing with a price, in time to decide before guests arrive. A few preparations make the evening itself go smoothly. Stock dry, seasoned firewood and keep it outside until you need it. Decorations such as stockings, garlands and greenery look lovely on a mantel but can catch a spark or drip onto a hot hearth, so keep anything that burns well back from the opening while a fire is lit.

Use a screen, and keep an eye on children and pets near the hearth. Have a metal container with a lid ready for the ashes the next day. If you are expecting a crowd, remember that kitchen fans and a house full of people opening doors can affect how the fireplace draws. A fire that smokes on the night is a sign to let it burn down and call us afterward.

Park Central homeowners pay nothing for the inspection, and our local family company quotes the sweep or service before we begin, with 10% off when it is booked within 72 hours. Ask for a same-day slot if you are short on time; they open up when the schedule allows. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee comes with every visit.
