Choosing the right team to handle your home heating system is a significant decision for any homeowner. Here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, the weather can shift from a mild autumn afternoon to a biting mountain chill in a matter of hours. Having a fireplace that functions as efficiently as possible is a necessity for comfort. At Wright’s Hearth, Heat & Home, we understand the local climate and the unique architecture of homes in our area. We have spent over 25 years building a reputation for excellence in chimney sweeping throughout Columbus, NC and surrounding areas, and we take that responsibility seriously. When you invite our team into your home, you are not just getting a service provider. You are partnering with a family-owned business that treats your property with the same care and respect we would give our own.

1. We Offer Decades of Family-Owned Expertise

We started this journey over 25 years ago in a kitchen with a simple vision to provide our neighbors with the best chimney care available. Today, Wright’s Hearth, Heat & Home has grown significantly, but our core values remain the same. We are not a revolving door of temporary workers or sub-contractors. We are a dedicated team of professionals, including the founders’ own sons who now help lead our crews. This continuity means that when we perform your service, you are benefiting from a deep well of knowledge. We have seen every type of flue from historic masonry to modern factory-built systems, and we know exactly how to maintain them to ensure they operate as reliably as possible.

  • Our leadership has been in the industry for over a quarter-century and we pass down specialized techniques to every technician.
  • We never sub-contract our work because we want every technician who steps into your home to be a vetted and trained member of our direct staff.
  • As a family business, our name is on the line with every job, which motivates us to provide the most attentive service possible.
  • We have deep roots in the community and treat every customer like a neighbor rather than a transaction.

Because we have lived and worked in this region for so long, we understand the specific challenges that Columbus homeowners face. Whether it is the heavy creosote buildup from burning local hardwoods or the moisture issues that come with our humid summers, we approach every sweep with a local perspective. We do not just brush away soot. We look for the root causes of any performance issues to help your fireplace run as smoothly as possible for years to come. This commitment to longevity is what has kept our customers coming back to us for decades.

2. We Utilize Advanced Video-Scan Technology

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is the unknown inside their chimney. You cannot see what is happening thirty feet up a dark flue, and neither can most technicians with just a flashlight. That is why we invest in high-resolution video-scan technology for our inspections. We believe that a visual confirmation is the only way to ensure your system is as clean and sound as possible. During our process, we use these specialized cameras to inspect the interior lining. We look for cracks, gaps, or obstructions that could compromise the system performance.

  • We provide visual transparency by showing you the digital footage so you can see the condition of your flue for yourself.
  • Seeing exactly where the creosote is heaviest allows us to focus our efforts and remove deposits as effectively as possible.
  • Our video scans provide a baseline for your chimney health and make it easier to track wear and tear over the coming seasons.
  • The camera can reach areas that are physically impossible to see with the naked eye, ensuring nothing is missed.

By incorporating this technology into our standard workflow, we eliminate the guesswork. Our goal is to provide you with the most accurate information possible so you can make informed decisions about your home. This level of detail helps prevent small issues from turning into expensive repairs, which keeps your hearth a source of comfort rather than a source of stress. We believe in being thorough, and video technology is the best tool we have to provide that peace of mind to our clients.

3. We Prioritize a Mess-Free Experience

We know that the biggest hesitation many people have about hiring a professional is the fear of soot and ash ending up on their carpet or furniture. At Wright’s Hearth, Heat & Home, we have perfected a white glove approach to our services. We treat your home like a sanctuary. Before we even bring our tools inside, we set up a comprehensive dust containment system. We use heavy-duty drop cloths to protect your flooring and high-powered, industrial-strength vacuums to ensure that every particle of soot is captured before it can ever enter your living space.

  • We use specialized tarps and coverings to create a clean perimeter around your hearth to prevent any tracking of soot.
  • Our HEPA-filtration vacuums are designed to trap the smallest dust particles and keep your indoor air as clean as possible.
  • We leave the work area in better condition than we found it by performing a final sweep and vacuum of the immediate vicinity.
  • Our technicians wear shoe covers and clean uniforms to ensure no outside dirt is brought into your living areas.

Our technicians are trained to be as unobtrusive as possible. We understand that your time is valuable and your home is private. By working as efficiently as possible and maintaining a tidy workspace, we ensure that the only evidence of our visit is a fireplace that draws better. We want the process to be entirely stress-free for you. When we finish, your home will be as clean as it was when we arrived, if not cleaner.
