We provide the proper prefabricated chimney installation services that will give you years of usage and will help you operate your fireplace with the best efficiency.

The installation instructions of a prefabricated chimney must be followed exactly.

Prefabricated chimney systems have specified clearances from the firebox and the chimney to any combustible materials. If these clearances are not met, it can be a dangerous fire hazard. This is why professional installation of prefabricated chimney systems is so important. You can trust All Seasons Chimney to follow all clearance guidelines when installing your system.

Prefabricated fireplaces are tested and listed as decorative heating appliances.

This means that a prefabricated fireplace cannot take severe overfiring as this can result in devastating chimney fires. Before you use your new fireplace system, it is essential to read the instructions thoroughly. Keep the operating manual in a safe place so that you can reference it if needed. Regular maintenance of your prefabricated chimney system is also recommended.

Prefabricated chimneys can be a favorite nesting spot for birds and other animals.

The importance of covering your prefabricated chimney with a chimney cap equipped with meshing on its side is crucial to prevent birds and animals from nesting within the chimney. Many times the chimney caps that come with prefabricated chimney systems are not very effective at keeping birds and animals out. Our technicians at All Seasons Chimney have years of experience in making prefabricated chimneys safe from bird and animals invasions, and we can help you find the perfect chimney cap to prevent bird and animal nesting from blocking your chimney and becoming a fire hazard.

Regular maintenance of your prefabricated chimney system is essential.

To ensure the safety and efficiency of your prefabricated chimney and fireplace, you should contact All Seasons Chimney for all of your maintenance needs. We can provide you with annual chimney cleanings and inspections as your system ages to guarantee it is functioning properly and safely. We are also here to help you if you experience any problems with your prefabricated chimney system.
