Barrington, Soot Is Not Your Friend — But Aelite Is!

The soot and creosote that accumulate in your chimney and fireplace or stove can pose a health threat and can ignite and cause a dangerous fire. The skilled and professional chimney sweeps at Aelite Chimney Specialties know how to reduce these hazards to keep you safe.

The Importance Of Our Services

The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) stress the important role that annual chimney inspections play in early detection of safety hazards and fire risks. Our skilled chimney sweeps follow the CSIA and NFPA guidelines and are trained to perform a thorough video inspection of your chimney and appliance and repair or replace any areas of concern.

The same preventative maintenance service is needed for your clothes dryer. Many homeowners do not realize that poorly functioning dryer vents can release hazardous gases into the home and create a fire hazard. A blocked or dirty dryer vent will also inhibit efficiency and shorten the lifespan of the appliance.

Barrington Suffers From Fires

The residents of Barrington know the importance of preventative fire maintenance. Nick and Julie Wagner, owners of Aelite, have a particularly strong penchant for safeguarding the well-being of Barrington residents. Major fires in 1890, 1893, and 1898 demolished many downtown Barrington buildings, and in 1989, another devastating fire destroyed Lipofsky’s Department Store, the oldest continuously operating business in Barrington.

Happy Anniversary Barrington

The village of Barrington celebrated its sesquicentennial (150 years) anniversary in 2015. The Village is one of the most progressive and yet quaint areas in Illinois. Residents maintain a strong regard for Barrington’s history. The Our Town Barrington Volunteers Group sponsors a self-guided walking tour of ten historic places in Barrington.
