Chicago’s largest fireplace and chimney company is growing — and we’re looking for motivated, eager-to-learn Chimney Sweep Apprentices to join our team. No experience? No problem. We provide paid, hands-on training from day one.
About Fireplace & Chimney Authority
Since 1992, Fireplace & Chimney Authority has proudly served the Chicagoland area with exceptional craftsmanship and unmatched customer service. What started as a small chimney service company focused on repairs, cleanings, and inspections has evolved into a full-service fireplace and outdoor living destination.
As we listened to homeowners over the years, we saw an opportunity to raise the bar — creating a cleaner, more modern, and customer-focused experience that didn’t exist in the industry at the time.
Today, with two locations and a team of dedicated experts, we guide our customers from design to installation and beyond. Our work doesn’t stop after the job is done — we build long-term relationships through ongoing maintenance, trust, and reliability.
