A flue inspection is a process that examines the chimney or flue system of a heating appliance, such as a fireplace or furnace. This inspection ensures that the flue is free from blockages, leaks, and structural issues, which can lead to dangerous situations like carbon monoxide buildup or chimney fires. Regular inspections help maintain the efficiency and safety of the heating system. During a flue inspection, a qualified technician will check for proper ventilation, assess the condition of the flue liner, and look for any signs of creosote buildup. This maintenance is essential for the safe operation of appliances like wood stoves and gas furnaces, ensuring they function correctly and safely.
