Midwest Chimney Safety Council


The Midwest Chimney Safety Council is dedicated to providing education on chimney, fireplace, and wood and gas heating appliances to the public and industry professionals.  We offer classes to the public on the correct operation and maintenance of wood and gas burning appliances and chimneys, and seminars and workshops to professional chimney sweeps, chimney builders, masons, home inspectors, fire investigators, HVAC installers, and Hearth appliance installers. Most of our classes for professionals are approved for CEU credits from the CSIA, ASHI, MHA, and NFI.   

HOMEOWNER TIP:  
 
The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual inspection of gas furnace, gas boiler, wood and gas-burning fireplaces and wood stoves by a professional chimney sweep and sweeping as necessary (after 1/4" of creosote has accumulated on the flue walls).  

See more information on our Homeowner Safety Tips page
