Do i have to clean my fireplace or chimney if it hasn't been used in 2 years?


Question:I didn't realized my fireplace even worked!

Answers:
Best to have it cleaned. There could be build up of creosote and debris, there could be bird's nests or other animals. These things can cause your chimney to catch fire if they're not cleaned out.


Most definite
You should just to be sure and prevent anything bad from happening like a house fire, but you don't have to.
To be safe...Yes, you should have it cleaned. You don't know how long it's been since it's been cleaned or what may be built up in it that may start on fire.

Clean it and snuggle in to enjoy the flames!
I would say it is advisable.
I would certainly get it checked by a professional.

There could be loose tiles which will allow the fire to get into your walls.

Basically you are stuffed then
