Question 2

Does New Jersey require chimney inspections?

Accepted Answer

New Jersey Senate Bill S352 (introduced 2024) proposed formal chimney sweep registration under the Division of Consumer Affairs but has not passed; operators currently work under the Home Improvement Contractor Registration Act. Dense urban row-house flue-sharing and oil-to-gas conversions keep liner work unusually prominent. NFPA 211 — the national standard referenced by most insurance policies — requires an annual inspection of every solid-fuel appliance regardless of state licensing.

Question 3

How do I verify a chimney sweep is legitimate in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Check (1) CSIA certification on the Chimney Safety Institute of America directory, (2) NCSG membership (National Chimney Sweep Guild), (3) a certificate of general liability insurance you can verify by calling the insurer, (4) at least 10 Google reviews with a 4.5+ average, and (5) a legal-entity filing in New Jersey that matches the business name on the quote. FindChimneySweepers independently verifies these signals for listings carrying the verified badge.
