A-1 Chimney Sweepers

General information

The Foundation of our company began when our President Patrick Bourque responded to an ad in the local newspaper under the heading Franchise for Sale. He purchased A-1 Chimney Sweepers in February 1980 and the following spring Pat's longtime friend Joe Donovan became a part owner in the burgeoning chimney sweeping and service business.

First located at the corner of Bonacord and St-George Streets, the business grew and prospered as the energy crisis of the 1980s caused the consumers to consider wood as a safe and economical alternative source of home heating. This upsurge in the use of wood burning technology led consumers to look for a company with professionally trained and certified technicians to sell, install and service their appliances.
