10. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By: Qualied Service Technician/Homeowner
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been
unplugged and the exhaust blower is off.
The products of combustion will contain small particles
of y ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the ow of the ue gases.
At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there
is a shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it
will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the
exhaust venting system.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once
a year or more often depending upon the quality of your
fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections. Ash will
build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
