Most people only use their chimneys during the winter and colder seasons in Pennsylvania. This means that during the warmer parts of the year, your fireplace stays unused for a while, making summer the perfect time to maintain your chimney and make necessary repairs. Take advantage of the clear weather and get the job done now so it's in perfect working order when you need to use your chimney again. However, other issues can affect your chimney during the summer. You must be aware of these problems with your chimney in summer and watch for them.

The end of summer is the perfect time to bring out light jackets, sweaters and warm beverages. If your home features a fireplace, it's worth checking on this installation to ensure everything is working properly, too. 

When it comes to the colder months, there's nothing quite as relaxing as gathering by an indoor fire to enjoy the warmth and ambiance. Many families use this time to bond, play games and enjoy time together, especially over the festive season.

Your chimney does an important job of ventilating your home and keeping it protected. Many chimneys have additional components, like a chimney cap, to ensure the chimney can function properly. A chimney cap is an attachment that covers the top of your chimney to protect it from various outside forces.
