A standard single-flue sweep in California typically runs $175-$275 from a legitimate operator. Prices below $125 in Tehachapi nearly always indicate a bait-and-switch operation; legitimate sweeps can't afford to roll a truck for that number. Plan on $300-$450 for a Level 2 camera inspection and $250-$500 for a cap install.
According to NFPA 211 standards, every solid-fuel appliance needs an annual inspection. Failure to clean chimneys is the leading cause of home heating fires, which is why the standard pairs a Level 1 inspection with every sweep.
