Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

How Copperfield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Chimney 3000 Series gas fireplaces - intermittent pilot ignition failure. The SIT 820 valve on early 3000 Series units loses millivolt output below 325 mV after roughly 8-10 seasons in Denver’s dry climate, causing the pilot to drop out mid-cycle. We test thermopile output with a digital multimeter, replace with an OEM SIT or a Robertshaw equivalent rated for altitude, and verify 500+ mV under load before we leave.
- Woodfield Select wood-burning inserts - cracked refractory panels from thermal shock. The 9-panel refractory set in Select models cracks along the left sidewall first because that’s where the air wash channel runs thinnest. We measure panel thickness with a caliper, source replacement panels through our Copperfield buying network or fabricate a HeatShield castable refractory repair when OEM panels are backordered, and document the repair with before-and-after photos per Haven Standard Clause 4.
- Chimney 2000 Series - rusted damper frames from condensation cycling. The stamped steel throat damper on 2000 Series units corrodes where the flue meets the smoke chamber, especially in Denver homes with newer, tighter envelopes that push moisture back down the flue. We pull the damper, assess frame integrity, and either install a replacement from our Copperfield parts stock or fit a Lock-Top or Lyemance damper when the original frame is too far gone.
- Gas log sets with remote receivers - battery corrosion in receiver boxes. Copperfield’s remote-ready log sets mount the receiver in the firebox floor, and alkaline battery leakage destroys the terminal block in 3-5 years. We relocate the receiver to a cooler external junction when possible, or replace with a Skytech or Ambient Technologies unit that uses lithium cells and sits outside the thermal envelope.
- Woodfield EPI22 pellet insert - auger motor burnout from high-elevation fuel quality. The EPI22’s 1 RPM auger motor works harder at 5,280 feet because pellets burn faster and the feed rate was calibrated for sea-level BTU output. We replace with a higher-torque aftermarket motor, recalibrate the control board feed settings, and show the owner the ash analysis so they understand why premium pellets matter in Denver.
Our Copperfield Fireplace Services Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and books a window. We text the technician’s name and photo the morning of.
- 2
Arrival and inspection. The tech arrives in uniform, lays down floor protection, and runs an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection: camera down the flue, combustion analysis on gas units, visual and tactile check of refractory and damper. Everything is photographed.
- 3
Diagnosis and written price. We show you the camera footage and explain what’s wrong. Then we deliver a written price, written scope, and written warranty before any tool comes out of the bag. Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 4
Parts decision. If Copperfield OEM is available and cost-competitive, we use it. If backordered or priced out of reason, we source equivalent from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco through our buying network and tell you exactly what you’re getting.
- 5
Repair and testing. We complete the work, run a full function test (draft test on wood units, combustion analysis on gas), and clean the work area.
- 6
Documentation and follow-up. You receive a photo record, written invoice, and warranty document. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies automatically. We call in 30 days to check in.

Why Denver Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Denver for Copperfield Work

We’ve worked on Copperfield units in Denver since 2009, from the original Woodfield inserts in Park Hill bungalows to the 3000 Series gas fireplaces installed in Stapleton rehabs during the 2015-2020 building boom. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we. Every inspection includes a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and named on your appointment text. We source materials through our buying network - Copperfield, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco - which keeps parts honest and prices honest. If another company has given you a written estimate for Copperfield work, we’ll provide a free second opinion. Corrine Halstead and her team have completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings, every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when it was done.
FAQs
No, routine maintenance by an independent service provider does not void your Copperfield warranty, though major repairs using non-OEM parts may affect coverage on specific components. We document every part source and keep your photo record on file so warranty claims are straightforward. Call (720) 674-7312 if you need help navigating a claim.
Common OEM parts arrive in 3-5 business days; we stock high-failure items like thermopiles, refractory panels, and damper hardware to complete many repairs same-visit. When Copperfield backorders a part, we source equivalent through DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco and tell you before we order. Call for availability on your specific model.
Replace when the firebox is cracked through to the outer shell, the flue liner is compromised, or repair costs exceed 60% of a new insert installed. We make that call with camera evidence you can see, not a sales pitch. If work can safely wait a season, we’ll say so. Call (720) 674-7312 for an honest assessment.
Once per burning season if used regularly, per NFPA 211. Denver’s dry climate produces more ash and finer particulate than humid regions, which can accelerate creosote buildup in the smoke chamber. We check creosote class during every Level 2 inspection and sweep only when warranted. Call to schedule.
We answer calls live 24/7 and schedule urgent appointments within 24-48 hours for gas leaks, carbon monoxide alarms, or total heat loss in winter. We do not charge emergency premiums. For suspected gas leaks, evacuate and call your utility first, then call (720) 674-7312.
