Chimneys: Should be cleaned at least once each year depending on how much it is used. People who heat mostly with wood should have their chimneys cleaned twice a year. Space Heaters: Extreme caution should be used with portable space heaters. Make sure they are at least three feet from bedclothes, curtains, furniture or any other combustible.
