The key to a safe and efficient chimney is regular service by a professional team that knows what it takes to do every job right. Since 2007, American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, has provided expert chimney and fireplace service for our customers.
We’re a family-owned, family-operated company that can help you in many ways. Here are some of them.
Chimney Inspections
We provide complete inspections for all types of chimney and fireplace systems. Inspections include a video scan of hard-to-see areas to help us get to the bottom of the problem. Our inspectors are licensed and certified and understand chimneys inside and out.
Inspection services cover:
- Basic annual safety inspections
- Real estate chimney inspections
- Inspections when damage exists or is believed to exist
- Leaky chimney inspections
- Inspections when modifying the chimney system, such as with a new liner or appliance hookup
Chimney Sweeping
Flammable creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires in and around Louisville, KY, each year. Our certified chimney sweeps remove creosote and debris buildups to help your chimney run safer and more efficiently.
Benefits of annual chimney sweeping service include:
- Reduced chance of a chimney fire
- A flue that efficiently drafts smoke and combustion gases
- More robust fires due to better air circulation
- Less chance of creosote acids damaging the chimney liner
- Reduced accumulation of debris in the flue that could be fuel for a fire
Chimney Rebuilding
A severely damaged chimney is a dangerous chimney. The solution is often a partial rebuild or a complete rebuild from the roof up. Our crew includes skilled masons who are experts at rebuilding all types of chimneys to restore strength, performance and good looks.
Fireplace Sales and Installation
Nothing brings ambience and elegance to a home quite like a beautiful fireplace or stove. In the American Chimney & Fireplace showroom, located at 11600 Electron Drive in Louisville, KY, you can see more than 30 models of fireplaces, stoves and inserts built by industry-leading manufacturers.
After helping you select the perfect new appliance to match your heating needs and decorative tastes, our field crew will install it correctly, safely and in accordance with state and local codes.
Firebox Repair
We repair fireboxes to restore efficient performance and the original beautiful aesthetics. Cracks in the firebox’s surfaces or its refractory panels can allow dangerous flames, smoke and combustion gases to escape. Our skilled fireplace technicians work on fireboxes in all types of manufactured and hand-built masonry fireplaces.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
We clean and service the venting systems for all makes and models of clothes dryers. A clean vent means less chance of a fire, more efficient drying, and less wear and tear on the machine.
Furnace Flue Cleaning
The flues that vent modern furnaces need periodic cleaning to remove built-up particulate matter that can cause drafting obstructions. Blocked furnace flues can send deadly carbon monoxide into the living spaces in your home.
Our technicians provide furnace flue cleaning and repairs. We also perform licensed inspections of all types of furnace flue systems.
