WHY WE REBRANDED
Why Did Always A Sweep Change Its Name?
When Joshua’s father started the company in Ocala in 1982, the work was chimney sweeping, and “Always A Sweep” said exactly what we did. Over four decades, the work grew. Today we install and repair fireplaces, run and connect gas lines, convert wood-burning units to gas, and handle full residential contracting scope under two Florida state licenses.
The old name no longer told the whole story. Some homeowners never realized we could help with their gas fireplace or gas line at all. “Always Fire & Gas” fixes that. Fire for our fireplace and chimney expertise, Gas for our licensed gas services. Nothing about who we are changed. The name simply caught up to the work we already do every day.
THEN
Always A Sweep
Chimney sweeping and inspections. The name that started it all.
NOW
Always Fire & Gas
Fireplaces, gas lines and appliances, chimneys, dryer vents, and residential contracting, under two state licenses.

The Same Family You've Trusted Since 1982.
Joshua Brosius did not learn this trade in a classroom. He grew up in it, working alongside his father at an age when most kids were riding bikes. His father started the family business in Ocala in 1982, and through those early years Joshua and his brothers learned not just the craft, but the values that define the work: honesty, thoroughness, and a real commitment to the homeowners who trust you inside their homes.
His father had a favorite quote, one he came back to often. It was from Zig Ziglar:
The name on the truck is changing. The family driving it is not. When you call Always Fire & Gas, you reach the same people who answered as Always A Sweep, holding the same standard your neighbors have relied on for more than four decades.
