In Quebec, only the sweepers whom are members of the Association of Professional Heating (APC) are recognized by the industry and government. The members of this association have undergone continuous and rigorous training and upgrading.

A certified chimney sweeper will not only sweep your chimney with a brush, he will take the time to inspect the chimney as well as your fireplace, wood stove or furnace to ensure that they meet the standards. He will be able to issue a certificate of inspection for your insurance company and advise you in case of defaults.
