What may be involved

Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.

Local context
If you plan to use a wood-burning fireplace, insert or stove, check the Bay Area Air District’s current Spare the Air information before burning. Its guidance distinguishes fine-particle alerts, ozone alerts and air-quality advisories, and links wood-burning restrictions to fine-particle alerts. Check the alert type and effective dates on the official service rather than assuming that a recent inspection or cleaning settles whether burning is allowed. Ask the Air District about circumstances affecting your property; this page does not report today’s alert status or determine an exemption.

Before the visit
If smoke is entering the room, stop using the fireplace and arrange an assessment.
