I used the company once and the new chimney cap they installed blew off a year later.  Now the phone number on my receipt is not a valid number, though the receipt says they promise to stand behind their work.  How do you reach them?

No one at Burger King ever wrecked my chimney! I think even their employees can spell better than you.

Does your mom know you commit fraud for a living or did you "fix" her chimney too?

The scam is conducted by what can be most charitably be described as house butchers. These crooks will lie about your have a serious problem that needs correction, often in the form of an unnecessary chimney liner that will set you back thousands. Not only is it unnecessary, it will be the wrong size and will be misinstalled. If you're lucky enough to figure out what happened before your hosue burns down, you can hire a competent contractor (for even more money) to fix what these butchers did. In the meantime, they will be long gone, using different phone numbers, trying to find new victims.

Sites like this expose the scam. This brings the turds out from under the rock to try to do damage control. They can't lie any better than they can fix your chimney, as we can see.

Take care of their homes by trusting a fraud in a boiler room? Better than that is people cleaning the chimney themselves.

The first time they were supposed to come out, no one showed. I called and left a message but no one called me back that Friday or Monday morning. When I called them Mon. afternoon they told me a tech's wife went into labor and that's who was probably assigned to my job. They still should have contacted me so we didn't have to stay home all day. We rescheduled for another date. The night before that date, the forecast was rain for the next day so they postponed for another two weeks, However, it wasn't raining the next day so I called them back and left a message to see if they could come that day. Again, no answer and no call back. The night before they were supposed to come the 3rd time, they called to cancel b/c the house was actually a condo, which, by the way, I told them when they called initially. After stringing me along for five weeks, they should have done the work as scheduled. I asked to speak to the manager because as a homeowner it is my responsibility to get my chimney cleaned, not the condo association's. The manager supposedly wasn't there and, no surprise, didn't call me back.  They don't want to clean chimney flues in condos because they want to upsell you and condo owner probably won't want to or be allowed to hire them to do the other expensive structural work.

Coincidentally they called back two months later to see if I wanted my chimney cleaned and inspected. I asked if they're on Angie's List. The cold-caller said no, but he said they're listed on the attorney general's website. WHEN I ASKED FOR THEIR PA LICENSE NUMBER, HE TOLD ME HE DIDN'T HAVE IT THERE. WHEN I SAID I'D HOLD FOR HIM TO GET IT, HE HUNG UP ON ME.

I think the initial cold-caller was calling from a 610-340 Pottstown area phone number. The second caller was calling from 25-550-5725 in Newtown, PA.

Unless you want to be pressured into getting additional work done on your chimney, don't hire this company to come out. Look on Angie's list for a reputable company.

No need to repeat the similar info. re: "Elizabeth", receiving a "cold call", etc. I received the same sham as those above from (215) 550-5019. There was, however, a new twist. I permitted the two (2) Tri-County Flue "technicians" to clean my fireplace and furnace flues. Shortly after they began, the "vacuum guy" produced some "tiles" that he said came from the inside of my chimney. He went on to state that there are probably "holes" in the chimney and that carbon monoxide could be leaking into the house. I showed him the Carbon Monoxide sensor just outside the furnace area. I related that sensor had never activated. To make a long story short, in addition to the $80.00 they charged for "cleaning the flues", I was given an estimate of $1460.00 for them to install a "stainless (sic) steal smooth wall Liner", etc. When I told the guy that I'd review the estimate with my plumber, he said he didn't know that plumbers did that kind of work. I told him that I didn't know that chimney cleaners were prone to ripping people off. He smiled and left.

I received the same sort of call last week (02/10/12) from this same outfit, specifically, someone who claimed to be "Elizabeth" of Tri-County Flues of Phillipsburg [I did ask where they were located].  Without checking on the bona fides of this outfit, I consented to an appointment for "between 1:00 and 3:00 o'clock" this afternoon, Monday, February 13th.
When I finally got around just now to checking up on this company and its reputation, if any, I found that I had been hoodwinked into making an appointment with a fly-by-night.  So, no one having shown up at my premises or having called 10 minutes before the arrival on the scene of the alleged "technicians", I telephoned good ol' 908/941-8669 and left a message cancelling today's appointment and declining any further contact whatsoever.  Better late than never, I suppose.

HELLO I AM A CERTIFIED LICENSED AND INSURED CONTRACTOR, I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANY AND ALL HOME OWNERS THAT IF ANYONE RECEIVES A CALL FROM A CONTRACTOR OF "ANY KIND" THAT YOU SEARCH FOR THE COMPANY ON THE STATE THAT YOU LIVE IN ATTORNEYGENERAL..GOV/HICSEARCH    THIS WILL BRING YOU TO THE PA ATTORNEY GENERALS WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN DECIDED FOR YOURSELF FROM A LEGITIMATE WEBSITE IF THE COMPANY IS LICENSED AND INSURED, ALSO YOU CAN CHECK THERE HISTORY FROM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY USED THEM, IF THEY HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING JUDGEMENTS OF COMPLAINS WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, CONSUMER AFFAIRS, OR CONSUMER PROTECTION. I DID DO A SEARCH FOR YOU GUYS OF THIS COMPANY AND OBVIOUSLY ANYONE CAN WRITE SOMETHING ON GOOGLE ABOUT ANYONE, BUT THIS COMPANY IS VERY REPUTABLE VIE THE STATES WEBSITE. NO COMPANY IS PERFECT AND NO COMPANY OWNER CAN MONITOR ALL THERE EMPLOYEES IF ANYONE WAS TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM A COMPANY I WOULD RECOMMEND CALLING THEM BACK AND LETTING THE OFFICE MANAGER KNOW SO THEY CAN EITHER FIRE OR LOOK INTO THE PERSON THAT MADE THE PHONE CALL.  MARKETING COMPANIES CAN MONITOR THERE WORKERS CALLS SO ANYONE WITH A HARASSING OR MISLEADING CALL FROM A COMPANY THAT IS LEGITIMATE AS PER THE STATE, I WOULD, ESPECIALLY IN THESE DAYS, HELP THEM OUT BY CALLING THEM AND ASKING FOR THE MANAGER, AND TELLING THEM YOUR COMPLAINT, SO THEY CAN HANDLE IT, BOTH SMALL AND LARGE BUSINESSES ARE SUFFERING AND WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER. HENCE, LETTING THE COMPANY KNOW ABOUT THE POOR SERVICE CALLS, WOULD HELP THEM TO DO BETTER.. LETS ALL WORK TOGETHER IN THESE HARD TIMES!  ITS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK!!!

I got a call from Tri County Flues earlier today. I told them I wasn't interested and hung up. The guy calls back 10 seconds later and says "is this the a***ole residence?" I said nothing. He then says "Oh, sorry is this the c*** rag residence?"  I hung up. He calls back AGAIN and this time I don't say anything when I answer the phone. He didn't either, there was just silence for 10 seconds until I hung up again.

They will have a blocked number when they call.  DO Not make an appointment.  They are aggressive and they do not have address contact information.  If tou want your chimneys done, search Angie's List for a certified contractor.

Sept 20,2011 Hi. I am on the "Do Not Call List". I get the impression it doesn't stop some companies from doing their thing. I got a call from "Private Name,Private Number" at 12:59pm. There was a woman named "Elizabeth", from "Tri County Flues", who was telling me there was no record of my chimney flue being cleaned in more than five years.She wanted me to schedule service. They just HAPPENED to have a truck in the area here (Croydon,PA) and they could do it on Wed Sept 21,2011. She said they usually charge $80.00, but I could get the complete flue inspection and service for $35.00. That was incredible! She gave me a number I could call if I had questions. I asked where they were located and what area code is "908".  It was kind of like pulling teeth,but she did eventually tell me they were in "Philipsburg". I said I never heard of the area code "908" in PA. She stated that it was in NJ. I asked my husband whether I should let them come here. I was a little suspicious but he said we probably DO need the cleaning done.I just had this nagging feeling that since I did not initiate the call, I would be sorry if I got involved with these people.I was really afraid that it would turn into some enormous,costly problem. I made the appt for Wed Sep 21,between 1pm and 3pm. She said I would get a call from her supervisor. I did get a call at 1:15pm, but my caller ID said "Cell Phone,NJ" 908-941-8669.The man was verifying that I gave permission to Elizabeth to schedule the service. I said yes I did.He wanted to know some info about how old the house is and what kind of chimney it is. I didn't really know what it is made of. Ok,fine, goodbye. Then I was still nervous that I had just done something incredibly stupid. I googled the name "Tri County Flues".  I viewed many negative reviews of the company and their poor service or no service. OH BOY! I told my husband. I called the number back and DID get a woman on the line. I am very sure that I was pissing her off because I wanted to cancel. I was trying to find out how they decided to call ME here in my little town in PA.(near Philly). She was trying to tell me that I was probably called because there is no record of my chimney getting service in the last five years. I wanted to know,how they KNOW that. I NEVER used their company. In fact, I have been in this house nine years and I never used ANY company for cleaning the chimney on our gas boiler.I got the idea that they are just bluffing,because they bank on the fact that most people probably DON'T get their chimney serviced,especially now. They have a technique to get information from you that you don't realize you are giving.After I said I wanted to cancel,this lady wanted me to reschedule for another date. I didn't want to. She got irritated because I wouldn't. That was what I needed to hear, to confirm what I suspected. They are high pressure, fly by night schmucks.   I ended up calling the company that has been doing service on the gas boiler since we moved here and it turns out that they have a department that does the chimney.I am going to use them.The only thing Tri County Flues did was remind me that I should get this work done. It won't be by them. My thought is that any company that really wants your business,has friendly, pleasant representatives. The ones who are pushy and display a hostile,indignant attitude should cause you to realize that they don't deserve your business.
I think I will report "Tri County Flues" for violating the "Do Not Call". I really wish I had thought of that earlier and said it to them.Bye for now.
