What Makes This Deal Exceptional?

CSIA Certified Technicians
Every technician on our team is certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, unlike many companies who don’t require proper certification.

These premium features are standard in our service, not extras.

Why Regular Gas Fireplace Tune-Ups Matter

Keeping your gas fireplace tuned up isn't just about appearances — it’s a matter of safety and efficiency. Annual inspections helps:

Prevent ignition risks from debris or burner issues
Improve flame quality and overall system airflow
Boost heating efficiency
Reduce the risk of carbon monoxide exposure
‍

Whether you use your gas fireplace regularly or only on cold nights, an annual tune-up is essential for keeping your system safe and protecting your home and family.

FAQs About Chimney Sweeping and Inspection

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, and the greater Portland Metro Area.

Why is a camera inspection important?

Many chimney issues are hidden deep inside the flue. Our camera inspection helps us identify cracks, blockages, creosote buildup, or damage that could pose a safety risk — and it's included in our standard service.

Are your technicians certified?

Yes. Every technician at American Chimney is CSIA Certified, which means they’ve undergone formal training and testing by the Chimney Safety Institute of America — something most companies don’t require.

How do I book the winter discount service?

It’s easy — just fill out the form at the top of this page, and a member of our team will follow up to confirm your appointment.

“American Chimney team replaced our old brick fireplace on the roof and also a new gas fireplace install. They were on time and thorough. Dennis worked efficiently and his thorough knowledge about gas fireplace inserts helped me to figure out the tricky situation of install with our rock wall. Kudos to the team on dependability and on time communication! I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again."

"American Chimney is an awesome company! Dennis installed two fireplace inserts in our home. He also repaired the exteriors of our two chimneys. From our first meeting to the final installation he was friendly, patient, knowledgable, and creative. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we understood everything we needed to know... American Chimney does beautiful work! We highly recommend using their services."

"We had to get the chimney partially rebuilt on a 1940's house and a new flue liner. I was afraid of the new portion would stand out like a sore thumb since that old brick wasn't available anymore. However, Martin did a fantastic job blending in the new part and it looks great. He is an Artist! Bonus, the workers were also very nice to work with."
