When winter is over and the coldness begins to fade, it’s easy to forget about your buck stove until the next chilly season arrives. However, thorough off-season maintenance is critical to ensuring that buck stoves run efficiently and safely when you need them the most. Here are a few of the services we offer that can ensure your buck stove will be ready to go when the temperatures drop again.
- Cleaning: Before turning off buck stoves for the season, it’s important to clean them. Our team offers this service, removing any remaining ashes from the firebox, as they can retain moisture, which can eventually cause rust. Additionally, we have the necessary tools to reach all the nooks and crannies.
- Inspection and Repair: After a season of usage, we can evaluate buck stoves for wear and damage. We will check the door seals for any breaches that could enable air to escape, lowering the stove’s effectiveness. We can also assess the firebricks for cracks, as broken firebricks can reduce heat retention. If we discover any problems, we can complete the repairs right away so the stove will be ready to use again when you need it.
- Check the Chimney: The chimney is another critical component that requires attention. Creosote can accumulate inside the flue over time, creating a fire hazard. One of our professional chimney sweeps can clean the flue and check for blockages or damage. This guarantees that your stove is safe to use the next time you turn it on.
