What Is the Average Cost of Having a Chimney Professionally

The average chimney cleaning cost in Chicago is $325 per wood-burning fireplace. This includes creosote removal, soot cleaning, and a full inspection. Gas fireplaces also cost $325 with a Gas Refresh, which includes cleaning the logs and replacing burner media. For homeowners who need an evaluation only, the inspection price is $195.

These are our current 2025 prices; however, they may change over time.

Why the Average Stays Stable

Chicago chimneys share similar construction styles and seasonal use patterns. Therefore, the average cost remains steady across neighborhoods. Only major blockages, birds’ nests, or structural issues raise the price.

What’s Included in the Cleaning

A sweep clears the flue, improves draft, and identifies early signs of damage. Additionally, the technician photographs everything for clarity and walks through any concerns.

Why Annual Cleaning Helps

Regular sweeping reduces odors, improves safety, and prevents costly repairs. Furthermore, it keeps your fireplace performing efficiently during the coldest months.
