Just moved into a new condo, and the electric fireplace has been used with wood. Looks a little cloggy when you look up it. Want to start having fires. Should I get it checked to make sure it's OK? How much does this cost?

A Good Chimey sweep charges buy the length of the chimney an the amount of work required. If you have a standard two story house with a regular doble wall chimney, it's going to run any where from $125-$300 depending on the cleaner.
I would suggest that you call around, they all do the same work so it wouldn't hurt to see which is the cheapest.
And the answer is yes, if you have a wood burning stove a chimney sweep is someone that you should have come yearly, this will reduce the chances of a chimney fire.

The electric fireplace wasn't being "used" in the sense of heating but, only for a decoration.
Don't hire a "chimney sweep" to check out your chimney for replacements, he's nothing more then a cleaner. You want a responsible contractor that knows what he's doing. Someone that knows brick, liners and how to replace them.
It's better to pay the price now, then later . Get what you pay for.

With modern housing that is in lots of circumstances through creating plans rules, all new properties to be equipped interior the comparable variety through fact the previous properties, and if that is composed of a chimney, it get's a chimney. builders often use those dummy chimneys to vent the mandatory heating fumes (carbon monoxide) from gas necessary heating structures and since the outlet for warmth exchangers etc. additionally, a chimney stack (floor to roof) could be a significant structural characteristic of a house, and a few larger modern properties in my interior reach section have the alternative for a "actual" fire for style purposes (to be trustworthy) and are equipped with a actual chimney for that objective. playstation ...

The local chimney sweep had a newspaper coupon for a $50.00 cleaning. I watched what he did and went to Menards and bought a steel chimney brush and fiberglass pole sections for about $35. Now I do it myself and -- a much better job too.

Worth the money to avoid potential fire hazard. You had a crappy realtor as they should have warned you about it BEFORE you bought your condo. Seller should have paid for it.
