Keep your pellet stove clean, safe and running at maximum efficiency.
Let Fireplace Village perform a thorough cleaning and annual maintenance check on your wood pellet stove to ensure a consistent, efficiently burning stove that will keep you warm all winter long. Pellet stove manufacturers recommend regular cleaning and maintenance including:
- Check the burn pot every day and clean it periodically to keep the air inlets open.
- Empty the ash drawer before starting a new fire and occasionally by interrupting stove operation.
- For maximum efficiency the surface of the heat exchanger should be cleaned regularly.
- Ash traps are chambers located behind the fire chamber which prevent excess fly ash in the exhaust from exiting the stove. In some pellet stoves they are easily accessed for ash removal by owners. Other require professional service.
- Clean the glass. Clean with glass cleaner when the glass is completely cool on stoves with effective air wash systems.
- Check the hopper and auger for accumulated sawdust materials. The fuel in the hopper and auger tube should be run out occasionally to prevent auger blockage by fines.
Ash vacuums are a convenient accessory for proper cleaning and maintenance.
If you are looking at buying a home with an existing pellet stove let Fireplace Village perform a stove inspection or safety check.
