At Lindemann Chimney Company we are in a unique position. Unlike other chimney supply companies we also have a successful chimney service company in the Northern Chicago area. We are prepared to have our biggest busy season ever. Are you ready?

If you haven't closely checked your tools and organized your trucks then now is the time to do it! Need a new vac filter? Get it now! Have you changed the motor brushes on your vac? This is oten overlooked until the vac starts to exhibit a loss in power and starts to sound strange. It's critical to check your motor brushes and replace them to prevent damage to the motor. Also, the busy season is a bad time to wait for parts. We carry some motor brushes and can provide them quickly.

How is your truck organized? Is everything set up so you can quickly and easily access the tools you need? Can you eliminate steps in and out of your customers home? AW Perkins introduced a new wire caddy for the fixed drum RoVac. It allows you to put smaller tools into the basket to help eliminate extra trips.
