Why Commit to an Annual Service Contract?
Stay Ahead of Preventable Problems
Small maintenance issues can become expensive repairs when they go unnoticed. Routine service gives trained professionals an opportunity to identify visible wear, buildup, leaks, loose connections and performance concerns before they become more serious.
Keep Important Maintenance on Schedule
It is easy to forget when your chimney was last swept, your fireplace was serviced or your dryer vent was cleaned. An annual contract creates a dependable maintenance schedule, so essential services are less likely to be postponed or overlooked.
Improve Home Safety
Fireplaces, chimneys, dryer vents, plumbing and electrical systems can all create safety concerns when they are damaged, improperly maintained or not working correctly.
Routine professional service can help identify issues such as:
- Creosote and soot buildup
- Restricted dryer vent airflow
- Water leaks and corrosion
- Faulty electrical connections
- Damaged fireplace components
- Venting and combustion concerns
Annual maintenance provides added peace of mind that important systems have been professionally checked.
Chimney Sweeping and Maintenance
Keep Your Chimney Clean and Ready for Use
Wood-burning fireplaces, stoves and inserts can produce soot and creosote that accumulate inside the chimney. Leaves, nesting materials, moisture and other debris can also affect the chimney system.
Routine chimney sweeping helps remove buildup that may restrict airflow or create a potential fire concern. It also gives a technician the opportunity to identify visible signs of damage or deterioration.
Annual chimney service may help address:
- Creosote, soot and ash buildup
- Smoke and drafting problems
- Restricted airflow
- Chimney odors
- Leaves, nests and debris
- Damaged chimney caps or chase covers
- Visible masonry or chimney concerns
- Seasonal preparation for fireplace use
Scheduling chimney service before the heating season helps ensure your system is ready when colder weather arrives.
Fireplace Maintenance
Keep Your Fireplace Safe, Clean and Dependable
Your fireplace should be ready to operate when you need it. Even when a fireplace appears to be working properly, dust, debris, worn components or developing ignition and venting issues may affect its performance.
Annual fireplace maintenance can help improve reliability, support safe operation and reduce the likelihood of inconvenient problems during the heating season.
Depending on the fireplace type and condition, service may include:
- Checking fireplace operation
- Cleaning accessible fireplace components
- Inspecting the burner and gas logs
- Checking the pilot light or ignition system
- Inspecting visible venting components
- Looking for signs of wear or damage
- Checking accessible electrical connections
- Identifying parts that may require repair or replacement
Nova Fireplace & Stove services many types of fireplaces, including gas fireplaces, gas logs, wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves, inserts and electric fireplaces.
Dryer Vent Cleaning and Maintenance
Improve Airflow and Help Your Dryer Work More Efficiently
Lint and debris can accumulate inside a dryer vent even when the lint screen is cleaned after every load.
As buildup increases, airflow may become restricted. This can make clothes take longer to dry, cause the dryer to become unusually hot and place unnecessary strain on the appliance.
Excessive lint buildup can also create a potential fire hazard.
Annual dryer vent cleaning can help:
- Remove accumulated lint and debris
- Improve airflow through the vent
- Reduce drying times
- Help the dryer operate more efficiently
- Reduce unnecessary strain on the appliance
- Identify damaged or disconnected venting
- Reduce the risk associated with excessive lint buildup
Your dryer vent may need attention if clothes require multiple cycles, the dryer becomes very hot, you notice a burning smell or the exterior vent has weak airflow.
Plumbing Inspections and Maintenance
Catch Leaks and Plumbing Problems Earlier
Plumbing problems often begin with small warning signs, such as a slow leak, changing water pressure, corrosion or an unusual sound from a fixture or water heater.
When these concerns are ignored, they can lead to water damage, higher utility costs and more extensive repairs.
An annual plumbing inspection gives a qualified professional an opportunity to assess accessible components and identify areas that may require service.
Depending on your home and selected plan, plumbing maintenance may include:
- Checking accessible pipes and connections for leaks
- Looking for corrosion or water damage
- Inspecting faucets, toilets and shut-off valves
- Checking visible drains and supply lines
- Assessing water pressure concerns
- Inspecting the water heater
- Checking for signs of inefficient or failing fixtures
- Recommending repairs or replacement when necessary
Routine plumbing maintenance can help homeowners address minor issues before they become major disruptions.
Electrical Safety Inspections and Maintenance
Help Protect Your Home’s Electrical System
Electrical systems can develop problems that are not always obvious. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, damaged outlets and outdated components may continue operating while creating potential safety concerns.
An annual electrical safety inspection provides an opportunity to identify visible deficiencies and discuss recommended repairs or upgrades.
Depending on your home and selected plan, electrical service may include:
- Inspecting the main electrical panel
- Checking accessible breakers and connections
- Looking for signs of overheating or damage
- Testing selected outlets and switches
- Checking GFCI and AFCI protection
- Assessing frequently tripped breakers
- Reviewing electrical concerns reported by the homeowner
- Identifying outdated or damaged components
- Recommending repairs, upgrades or additional evaluation
You should schedule electrical service promptly if you notice flickering lights, warm outlets, burning odors, buzzing sounds, sparks or breakers that trip repeatedly.

Depending on the plan selected, service contract customers may receive benefits such as:
- Convenient annual maintenance reminders

- Priority scheduling
- Consistent service records

Many fireplaces benefit from professional maintenance once a year, especially before the heating season. The appropriate schedule may depend on the fireplace type, age, condition and frequency of use.
How often should my chimney be swept?
The appropriate frequency depends on the appliance, fuel type, frequency of use and amount of buildup. Many homeowners arrange chimney sweeping and inspection annually.

Many homes benefit from annual dryer vent cleaning. More frequent service may be appropriate for large households, frequently used dryers or long and complex vent runs.
Do plumbing systems require annual maintenance?
An annual plumbing inspection can help identify accessible leaks, corrosion, water-pressure issues and concerns involving fixtures or water heaters before they cause more extensive damage.
Does my electrical system need to be inspected every year?
The ideal schedule depends on the home’s age, electrical system and previous concerns. An annual safety check may be beneficial for older homes, frequently tripped breakers, recent renovations or homeowners who want a proactive review of accessible electrical components.
