With spring in the air, it’s really easy to forget about your chimney system until the first cool days of autumn roll around. Unfortunately, that’s often when it’s difficult to impossible to get on the schedule of a chimney company in a timely manner.
Fortunately, you do have other options available that will have you ready for those first cool days, as well as have time to handle anything that’s needed between now and then. Here’s a quick look at why you may want to schedule a seasonal chimney inspection for your New Braunfels home in the spring instead of the fall.
Be Ready for Next Heating Season with a Chimney Inspection
Hurricane Season
Sure, the area from San Antonio to Austin is away from the worst parts of the coast, but if you’ve been in the area for any length of time, you already know that the effects of a hurricane can stretch far inland.
Tornadoes, high winds, heavy rainfall, and bad storms can be spawned by hurricanes, and can impact the power grid in our area. Having your woodstove or fireplace ready for action means that the emergency you might face from a power outage is just an inconvenience.
Time to Handle Necessary Repairs
When you want to be able to curl up in front of a warm fire on a cool night, nothing is as frustrating as hearing that you’ll need repairs to your chimney system – and the parts are a few weeks out. You don’t want to wait to be able to enjoy that cozy environment.
When you schedule a seasonal chimney inspection for your New Braunfels home in the spring, you have time to schedule the repairs before the weather begins to turn chilly in the fall. Any needed maintenance or repairs can be handled over the summer or even early fall, making it easy to have a functional system when you want it.
Save Up for Upgrades Over Time
Considering swapping out for a new woodstove? Want to make the change to a gas fireplace to get rid of the mess of burning wood? Planning for your upgrades is a much easier process when you have time to save money over the spring and summer, knowing about how much you need for the project.
When you have your inspection performed in the spring of the year, you can ask about your potential upgrades and start planning for them. You even have the opportunity to get on the schedule for installation later in the summer, so that you can use your new system as soon as you want to./
Schedule at Your Convenience
One of the most frustrating things about trying to schedule service when everyone else is doing so is that everyone else is doing so. That means that you’re at the mercy of the schedule, having to take time off from work or book at inconvenient times for your usual schedule.
When you schedule your chimney inspection in the spring, it’s at the end of the busy season for chimney companies. This means that there are fewer things on their schedules, so you can book your appointment at your convenience, getting a much-coveted lunch-hour or after-work time slot to get the work done.
Time to Chat About Your Options
Finally, when you schedule your chimney inspection in the spring or summer, your chimney technician has much more time to chat with you about your system. In the fall, when everyone is trying to get a technician out, there’s a rush to get from one job to the next.
Whether you’re considering an upgrade, want a professional opinion about how to optimize your draft, or just want to learn more about operating your system effectively and efficiently, spring or summer are the best times to schedule your appointment.
Taking the time to schedule a seasonal chimney inspection and maintenance services for your New Braunfels home in the spring means that you’ll be all set for whatever Mother Nature throws at us over the summer. It also means that you’ll be all set to use your fireplace or woodstove at the first sign of a cool fall day, when everyone else is scrambling to book an appointment.
