Total Fireplace & Chimney
With every sweeping, we inspect your chimney with the Chim-Scan video system to ensure there are no flaws in your chimney. Without professional inspections you might be under the false impression that your system is safe when it actually is not. Gas fireplaces are much easier to use and maintain than a real wood burning fireplace, but they are not maintenance free.

Clean and clear dryer vents and air ducts prevent heat, moisture, and carbon monoxide from being trapped in your home. At Total Fireplace & Chimney, we specialize in serving residential customers by providing complete Chimney Cleaning & Inspections and Gas Fireplace Maintenance and Repair Services.

Additionally, our crew provides Dryer Vent Cleaning services to protect the indoor air quality in your home. We employ the most advanced dust-free cleaning methods to ensure that not a trace of soot or dust remains. Our customers realize that with all of our services, our commitment to professionalism, cleanliness, and customer service is second to none.
Services
Total Fireplace & Chimney has been serving residents of the Greater Twin Cities Minnesota and Western Wisconsin areas for more than a decade. We provide years of industry knowledge and expertise to ensure you the best satisfaction of our work.
When you burn wood in your fireplace or wood stove, one of the by-products of the combustion process is creosote. Creosote is a tar-like substance that coats the inside of your stovepipe, fireplace and flue liner that can be difficult to remove. Left unchecked, this creosote can turn into a hard glazed substance that can ignite as a chimney fire or buildup year after year restricting the flow of toxic gases from your chimney.
Gas fireplaces are much easier to use and maintain than a real wood burning fireplace, but they are not maintenance free. With regular use, your fireplace glass can get stained, give off smelly odors, and not run as efficiently as it once did. During the inspection and cleaning process, we disassemble the front of the fireplace to clean all the controls and glass along with checking the electrical connections, pilot, burn pan, and logs.
Adequate airflow from the dryer to the exterior of the home is extremely important during operation. Restricted airflow can cause the appliance to eventually overheat and potentially cause a fire. Several things can cause this, but lint accumulation is usually the culprit of most dryer performance issues.
Having your fireplace inspected is crucial to the safety of your home. Did you know that over 25,000 home fires per year are caused by chimney fires? Keep your investment safe with regular inspections to ensure your fireplace doesn't have any defects and is working the way it is meant to. Even if you use your fireplace, stove, or furnace on a regular basis, there are many things that can happen to the system without your knowledge.

I first contacted another local fireplace servicing company and they just flat out never responded. So I contacted Total Fireplace & Chimney, and I am so glad I did. Troy was very responsive, professional, and showed up at my home on time. He did such a bang up job cleaning my fireplace, it almost seems like brand new. I am honestly glad the other place ignored me because I know I wouldn't have gotten as good of service as Troy provided.

Not really sure what happened. Our pilot light went out. Troy came out explained how the fireplace works and relit the pilot. He had said it might be the thermopile. The pilot light went out within 10 minutes and I called twice to tell him yes it must be the thermopile and he’s never contacted me again.

Troy was prompt, professional, and respectful of my napping daughter. He did a great job educating me on what the problem was with my fireplace and quick to resolve it. He was very personable too which made this experience delightful. Was very grateful to have found him. Would definitely recommend to use him in the future!!!

Guy does honest work, and communicates with you throughout the process. Let's you know when he's on the way, and doesn't mind to help explain to you the workings of your apparatus (gas fire place for me personally) should you care to learn more about keeping your house safe and apparatus maintained. Will be using him in the future for anything fireplace related no question!
Could not recommend a company higher than I recommend this one. Top to bottom good experience.

Troy did an excellent job cleaning our chimney. He was prompt, protected the room and when he was done the room was perfectly clean. He even cleaned the fireplace glass!!
Troy also gave us a plan to determine how often the chimney will need to cleaned.
We look forward to a long relationship with Troy.

Troy did a great job diagnosing and recommending a solution on my 20 year old Suprior fireplace. He was very knowledgeable and gave me an understandable class on how gas fireplaces work. I recommend Troy and Total Fireplace and Chimney, he's my new fireplace guy.

Very professional, and conscientious with his process. That to say, he tests out his vac outside prior to bringing it in to each job to ensure the filter doesn't pop in your home. He also calls to say when he'll arrive, and is easy to set up an appointment with..Top to bottom this was a great experience!
Reasonable and fair pricing, quality work from a seasoned expert on chimneys and fireplaces. If you care to learn about your apparatus (gas fireplace for me personally) he's happy to explain some of the typical fails of the device, what to look out for and which are things you can fix yourself
