Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing
A pellet stove inspection checks the stove and its vent: the burn pot, the fans, the gaskets, and the exhaust path. It is a look and a cleaning of the ash a pellet stove builds. It is not a parts repair.

The work
Pellet exhaust is cooler and wetter than a roaring wood fire, and the vent fills with fine ash. The inspection opens the stove enough to see the burn pot, the fans, and the vent connections, and clears the ash that is blocking them. A jammed auger or a dead igniter is a repair, written up separately.
That repair is pellet stove repair. A masonry chimney sweep does not substitute for the pellet vent.
Why it matters
A vent full of ash restricts the exhaust. The stove then smokes, lights poorly, or shuts itself down. Inspecting it catches the blockage before the vent fails.
If the stove is smoking into the room or anyone feels sick, shut it down. If anyone feels sick, get outside and call emergency services before calling A1.
