What Makes ChimChat Different

ChimChat is the only AI assistant purpose-built for the chimney and hearth industry. Unlike generic AI tools that guess from internet scraps, every ChimChat answer is retrieved from actual manufacturer installation manuals, code standards, and verified technical references.

Our Knowledge Base

• Real OEM installation manuals from 60+ brands (Napoleon, Heat & Glo, Regency, DuraVent, Harman, and more)
• NFPA 211, IRC Chapter 10, IBC Chapter 21 — actual code language, not summaries
• CSIA Chimney Servicing Standard of Practice
• Diagnostic guides: gas valves, ignition systems, pellet stoves, error codes
• Clearance specs, framing dimensions, venting tables for hundreds of models
• Equipment specs: combustion analyzers, draft gauges, thermal imaging

How It Works

• 1. You ask a question about a code, a brand, a spec, or a troubleshooting issue
• 2. ChimChat searches its library of real documents to find the most relevant passages
• 3. The AI reads those passages and gives you a grounded answer with source citations
• 4. Green tags below each answer show exactly which documents were used

Built-In Tools

• Inspection Reports — Generate professional reports from your conversation
• Email Drafts — Write homeowner emails summarizing findings
• Repair Estimates — Build estimates based on your discussion
• Upload Your Own Docs — Attach PDFs or photos mid-conversation
• Voice Input — Talk to ChimChat hands-free on the job

Accuracy Promise

ChimChat prioritizes accuracy over speed. When it doesn't have a source document, it tells you. When it uses general knowledge, it labels it clearly. Answers cite real page numbers and document names so you can verify everything yourself.
