Why Certifications Matter

Anyone can buy a ladder and call themselves a chimney sweep. But when it comes to your family’s safety, training and accountability matter. Certifications are more than pieces of paper. They are proof that your technician has been tested, trained, and held to national standards.

At Always Fire & Gas, we hold every major certification in the industry. We invest more than $50,000 each year in education and credentialing so our team is always up to date with the latest codes, safety standards, and technology.

And it is not just about certifications. We are also proud to hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, a sign of our reputation, reliability, and long history of treating homeowners right.

This is why homeowners, contractors, insurance companies, and even other chimney sweeps trust us when it comes to safety and expertise.
