The Importance of Annual Pellet Stove Cleaning

Annual pellet stove cleaning and maintenance is important for ensuring optimal heating throughout the cold winter months, as well as the safe operation of your stove, which can lead to an extended lifespan of your unit. While the cleaning frequency of your pellet stove depends on how often you’re utilizing your unit and these quick, easy cleanings can be done by the homeowner, but planning for a thorough, professional cleaning after every ton of pellets is burned.

Scheduling an annual pellet stove cleaning appointment prior to the heating system beginning will help tackle any issues your pellet stove might be having and ensure a great start to the heating season. This makes summer and early fall the perfect time to accomplish this task!
