Stoves Annual Servicing

Is your stove running at it’s peak performance?

Pellet Stoves: The Annual Service

Pellet stoves require a thorough cleaning.  Depending upon your pellet stove model, burning habits and fuel selection, this type of service is required after each 1 to 2 tons of fuel burned. Many users have this service performed on their stove once a year during the off-season in preparation for the coming season. Are you burning a premium pellet in your stove or a low quality pellet fuel? When was the last time that you had your pellet stove cleaned thoroughly?

Wood Stoves: The Annual Service

Do the gaskets on your wood stove look worn? Does the door shut securely? Are the draft controls on your stove working properly? Does the damper work properly? Are there any cracks in the cast iron or steel? Are there any thin spots in the steel of your stove? Does the catalytic unit work efficiently as it should?

These are just some of the many things that we look for when performing the annual stove cleaning. All of these things make your stove heat your home as efficiently as possible.

Gas Stoves: The Annual Service

Annual maintenance of your gas stove is just as important as a wood stove or pellet stove. Although you don’t have any soot or ashes to clean out of the stove, your gas stove has unique characteristics that should be cleaned annually. Fittings and connections for your gas stove are very important and should be inspected annually to ensure that there are no cracks, leaks or loose fittings. Keeping your family safe during the heating season is the utmost priority and a gas stove that is malfunctioning can be very hazardous in your home.
