🎉 HELP US GIVE A BIG CHIMNEY MECHANIX WELCOME TO EMILIE! 🎉

We are excited to introduce the newest addition to the Chimney Mechanix of Indiana team, Emilie Cunningham! She is joining us as our newest Field Technician/Apprentice, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on board! 🔥

A little bit about Emilie:

Emilie is originally from White County and a Twin Lakes High School graduate. She now calls Lafayette home, where she is currently working toward her EMT certification with plans to continue on to become a paramedic. She is also a proud mama to two beautiful kiddos under the age of 3, who definitely keep her busy!

When she’s not busy being a mom or working toward her goals, you might find her curled up with a good book, watching a crime show, hunting for treasures at garage sales, or enjoying a shopping trip to Hobby Lobby. (We have a feeling she’ll fit right in! 😉)

Emilie loves learning new things and isn’t afraid to take on a challenge. She’s excited and grateful for the opportunity to step into something completely new with Chimney Mechanix of Indiana.

One thing we love here is a willingness to learn, grow, and step outside your comfort zone. We are excited to help Emilie build new skills, gain knowledge, and grow in the chimney industry!

Welcome to the team, Emilie! We are so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to see where this new adventure takes you! 🖤💛

Drop a comment below and help us give Emilie a warm welcome! 👇

We’re happy to get you scheduled for our next available opening and add you to our cancellation list. However, cancellations are few and far between—which is a wonderful problem to have, and we’re incredibly thankful for all of you who keep us busy! 🖤💛

💲 HOLIDAY PRICING UPDATE 💲

With the busy season here, please keep our current holiday pricing in mind:

A sweep is only performed when necessary! Our goal is to provide the right service for your fireplace and chimney system to help keep your family safe.

🎄 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE UPDATE

We have VERY limited appointments available in December and are still accepting appointments through the third week of December. After that, we’ll be closing for the holidays so our hardworking team can enjoy some well-earned rest and relaxation before the new year!

We appreciate your patience, your support, and the trust you put in our team. Keeping your family safe around the fireplace is what we do, and we’re grateful you choose us!

🎄🔥 DECEMBER PRICING UPDATE — CHIMNEY MECHANIX OF INDIANA 🔥🎄

The holidays are right around the corner, and we know many homeowners are trying to get their fireplaces ready for those cozy winter nights! 🏡❤️

As we head into December, our schedule is extremely limited, and this is one of the busiest times of the year for chimney services. To accommodate the increased demand and limited appointment availability, December seasonal pricing will be in effect.

🔥 December Service Pricing:

🧹 Chimney Inspection & Sweep: $450

We understand that life gets busy, and sometimes chimney maintenance gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. We're not here to judge! We simply want to be transparent about our seasonal pricing as we manage a very busy schedule during the holiday season.

At Chimney Mechanix, we're committed to providing thorough inspections, honest recommendations, and quality workmanship. We're a small, woman-owned business, and we take pride in doing things the right way — without unnecessary upselling. 🖤💛

🍂🔥 WHY WAIT UNTIL FALL? YOUR CHIMNEY NEEDS ATTENTION IN THE SPRING, TOO! 🔥🍂

We know… when the weather starts getting chilly, everyone starts thinking about their fireplace and chimney! 🏡🔥 But here’s your friendly reminder: SPRING is just as important as FALL when it comes to chimney inspections and repairs!

🚨 A QUICK BUSINESS UPDATE: We are officially unable to take on any more installations for the remainder of this year!

As much as we would love to get every project completed before winter, working on roofs and chimneys in cold, icy, snowy, or otherwise unsafe conditions creates a serious safety hazard for our technicians. Our team's safety has to come first! ❤️

So, why do we encourage homeowners to reach out in the spring?

🌷 Nicer weather means safer working conditions. Spring and summer generally provide better conditions for completing installations and repairs.

🔨 More time to plan and complete projects. Getting on our schedule early gives us more time to order materials, plan your project, and get the work done before the fall rush.

🏡 Catch problems before you need your fireplace. Winter can be hard on your chimney. Spring is a great time to have it inspected, identify damage, and plan necessary repairs before the next burning season.

📅 Avoid the fall rush! Every year, we see the calls pick up when temperatures drop. Getting ahead of the crowd can help you avoid waiting until everyone else is trying to get their fireplace ready.

We aren't sharing this to turn anyone away. We want to help you plan ahead, keep your family safe, and make sure your chimney is ready when you need it! ❤️

PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST COLD SNAP TO CALL US! Make Chimney Mechanix of Indiana part of your spring home-maintenance checklist. 📝

🔥🪵 FIREPLACE FUN FACT: WHAT KIND OF WOOD SHOULD YOU BURN? 🪵🔥

Fall is here, Indiana! 🍂 That means cozy nights, warm fireplaces, and wood-burning season is right around the corner! But did you know that the type of wood you burn matters? 👀

🌳 THE BEST WOOD TO BURN:
✅ Seasoned hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash are excellent choices when properly dried.
✅ Dry wood that has been seasoned for at least 6–12 months, depending on the species and storage conditions.
✅ Wood with 20% moisture or less is ideal. A moisture meter is the best way to check!

🚫 WHAT SHOULD YOU AVOID BURNING?
❌ Wet or green wood — it produces more smoke and contributes to creosote buildup.
❌ Painted, stained, or pressure-treated wood — it can release harmful chemicals.
❌ Plywood, particleboard, and construction scraps — adhesives and treatments can release dangerous fumes.
❌ Household trash, plastics, and cardboard as regular fuel.

🔥 WHAT ABOUT PINE? 🌲

Pine can be burned if it is properly seasoned and your appliance allows it! Despite what you may have heard, pine doesn't automatically cause creosote. Burning wet wood, poor combustion, and improper venting are bigger concerns. Always follow your fireplace or stove manufacturer's instructions.

⚠️ HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART!

Even when you burn the right wood, creosote can still build up inside your chimney. That's why regular inspections and cleaning when needed are so important!

👩‍🔧 At Chimney Mechanix of Indiana, we want you to enjoy your fireplace safely all season long!

🍂🔥 IS YOUR FIREPLACE READY FOR WINTER? 🔥🍂

Cold weather is right around the corner, and now is the time to make sure your fireplace and chimney are ready to keep your family warm and cozy all season long! 🏡❄️

A professional chimney inspection can help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. And when a sweep is needed, removing dangerous creosote buildup helps reduce the risk of a chimney fire. 🧹

💰 OUR PRICING
🔎 Chimney Inspection: $250
🧹 Chimney Sweep (if needed): Additional $100
🔥 Inspection + Sweep: $350 total

⚠️ A FRIENDLY REMINDER: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU ALLOW TO INSPECT YOUR CHIMNEY!

Did you know there aren't many certified chimney sweeps in our area? Not everyone offering chimney services has the proper training and credentials. Your chimney is an important part of your home's safety, so please do your research before hiring someone!

🖤💛 Chimney Mechanix of Indiana is CERTIFIED AND INSURED! We believe in continued education, professional standards, and helping homeowners make informed decisions about their chimneys. Your family's safety matters to us!

📅 Our schedule is filling up quickly! Don't wait until the first cold snap to call. Get your inspection and sweep scheduled before we're booked out!

MEET THE SWEEPER PEEPER! 👀📸

When you call us to schedule an inspection of your fireplace and chimney, you’ll often hear us talk about our 4K 360° camera, aka the “Sweeper Peeper!” 🐾🔍

So, what exactly does it do? We send this camera up your chimney or flue to get a detailed look at what’s happening inside. It helps us identify potential issues that you simply can’t see by looking into your fireplace from the ground.

And yes, this is included with every inspection we perform! 🙌

If you’re home during your appointment, we encourage you to look at the camera footage with us! Kaitlin takes the time to explain what she’s seeing, so you can better understand the condition of your chimney and any concerns we discover.

We also include pictures taken during your inspection to help you see exactly what we’re talking about. We believe homeowners deserve to understand what’s going on with their chimney, not just be told that something is wrong.

📸 The pictures we’re sharing today are a perfect example of why the Sweeper Peeper is such an important tool in our line of work! What looks fine from the outside can tell a very different story once we get a closer look inside.

Our number one goal at Chimney Mechanix of Indiana is to help prevent chimney-related home fires and make sure you have the information you need to burn safely.

🔥 Because when it comes to your fireplace and chimney, what you can’t see can matter the most!

Have questions about your chimney or wondering when you last had it inspected? Give us a call! We’re always happy to help. 💛🖤

🏠🔥 WHY IS A STAINLESS-STEEL CHASE COVER WORTH THE COST?

Sometimes, the cheapest option today can become the most expensive option tomorrow. And your chimney is a perfect example.

Take a look at this homeowner’s chase cover 👀

This was a construction-grade chase cover that was installed as the less-expensive option. Just ONE YEAR made a HUGE difference. What started as a chase cover that looked perfectly fine began to rust, deteriorate, and break down — leaving the chimney and everything beneath it vulnerable to water intrusion. 🌧️

Last year, this homeowner decided to pass on replacing the chase cover.

Fast forward one year… and now he’s getting a new stainless-steel chase cover. 🔨

So why do we recommend stainless?

✅ Built to withstand the elements
✅ Resistant to rust and corrosion
✅ Helps keep water out of your chimney system
✅ Custom-built for your chimney
✅ A much longer-lasting solution
✅ Lifetime limited warranty for added peace of mind

💰 Yes, stainless steel costs more upfront.

But when you consider the cost of water damage, masonry repairs, chimney deterioration, and replacing the cover again and again… investing in quality the first time can save you money in the long run.

Your chimney is part of your home’s protection system. Don’t let a cheap chase cover turn into an expensive repair.

📸 Look at the difference just ONE YEAR can make!

If your chase cover is rusting, deteriorating, or you’re not sure what condition it’s in, give us a call. We'd be happy to take a look!
