What is the average cost for chimney cleaning?

Members on Angie’s List report spending an average of $178 for an annual chimney cleaning, according to Angie's List. The costs range from about $125 and $ 200 depending on the location and the time of the year.

The cost of a standard chimney inspection is about $75, and chimney sweeping costs range between $50 and $125. A video inspection somewhat raises the cost of chimney cleaning.

A reputable chimney sweep inspects the fireplace and flue to establish whether or not a chimney needs cleaning. If the chimney requires cleaning, the contractor lays down blankets or other protective material to prevent ashes and soot from getting on the flooring or furniture.
