OIL & GAS
Do oil-fired appliances and fireplaces have to be swept?
Most people understand that wood-burning chimney systems need tobe cleaned, but they forget about their oil furnace flues, gas fireplaces, and gas furnaces.
Gas appliances certainly burn clean and do not produce creosote and heavy soot deposits like a wood-burning fireplace or stove might. But gas fireplaces and furnace flues still need to be inspected annually and cleaned and serviced from time to time to remove dust and make sure everything is working properly. Oil-fired furnace flues also need to be cleaned periodically and inspected annually for corrosive buildup, flue blockages, and other possible issues.
The best thing to do is to schedule an annual inspection with a Certified Chimney Sweep®. So, when you’re scheduling routine inspections and cleanings for your fireplace or stove, don’t forget about your furnace flue!
CARBON MONOXIDE
An annual chimney inspection performed by a qualified professional can help prevent carbon monoxide intrusion and chimney fires. These inspections can also identify potential system issues to address them before they become costly.
Many agencies and organizations now recognize the importance of annual heating system inspection and maintenance in keeping “the silent killer” at bay.
A well-tuned furnace or boiler will operate efficiently and produce a warm and comfortable home. An overlooked heating system can produce death and heartbreak.
Considering the risks involved when heating systems are neglected – and the benefits of having them properly maintained – it is wise to have your chimneys checked annually by a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep and swept or repaired as needed.

CHIMNEY TOPS
ELIMINATE MOISTURE DAMAGE
Moisture entering your chimney erodes masonry and mortar joints and will cause damper and firebox rust that leads to expensive repairs. The Chimney Top protects your flue from moisture damage.
PREVENT BIRD AND ANIMAL INVASION
The Chimney Top Protects your chimney from nesting birds, squirrels, raccoons, and other disease-carrying animals.
PROTECTS AGAINST AIRBORNE EMBERS AND SPARKS
The Chimney Top’s 18-gauge mesh reduces the risk of fires caused by airborne embers and sparks escaping from your chimney flue.
GUARD AGAINST FLUE BLOCKAGE
Leaves and debris entering a chimney may cause a flue blockage. This can lead to fire, smoke damage, and even carbon monoxide poisoning. The Chimney Top guards against these dangers.
WATER REPELLANT
WATER DAMAGE CAN BE PREVENTED
Chimneys are highly exposed to their elements and, if left unprotected, are susceptible to structural deterioration. It is important to address this problem before serious damage occurs. A complete chimney protection program should include repairing the crown as well as waterproofing the entire chimney with water repellent.
Johnson’s Chimney Service uses the highest quality products on the market to ensure that the job is done correctly and lasts.
FLASHING SEALANT
Damaged or deteriorated flashing can cause water damage or roof leaks.
Johnson’s uses FlashSeal, a long-lasting flashing repair system designed to stop leaks from faulty flashings aroud chimneys, stacks and vents. This product carries a 7 year material replacement warranty. Frankly, it is the best material for this job.
Gas & Oil Relinings
Like wood-burning fireplace chimneys, gas furnace chimneys can develop damage or blockages and become a danger. And while appliances fueled by natural gas or propane may not produce the visible soot that appliances burning other fuels do, they can deposit corrosive substances in your chimney.
Carbon Monoxide
We all want our homes to be safe, comfortable places where we can relax without worry. But keeping safety levels high requires some due diligence – and it starts with knowing the risks and how to reduce them.
One of the biggest risks in the home is carbon monoxide poisoning.
Chimney Fires
With over 22,000, on average, known chimney fires annually in the United States, there is a good bet that you will read or hear about one near you each winter. We say “known” chimney fires because in many cases, you don’t know you had one.
Indications of a chimney fire have been described as creating:
loud cracking and popping noise
a lot of dense smoke, and
an intense, hot smell
