ChimSuite questions, answered
Short answers about the chimney inspection app, what it does and what it costs. Anything else: [email protected].
What is the best chimney inspection app?
ChimSuite was built by a working chimney sweep specifically for chimney inspections. It covers Level 1, 2 and 3 reports with NFPA 211-referenced checklists for masonry, factory-built, insert, stove, gas, pellet, oil and dryer-vent systems, photo evidence, a “Do not use until corrected” use assessment, branded PDFs and a customer link the homeowner signs online. It adds 3D cutaways to explain findings, chimney measuring tools and ChimChat AI. You can try a finished sample inspection in the free demo with no sign-up.
What is ChimSuite?
ChimSuite (formerly Chimeasure) is an app for chimney sweeps and chimney companies. It combines inspection reports, 3D homeowner explanations, chase cover, cap, fireplace and insert measuring, ChimChat AI answers from manufacturer manuals, and jobs, estimates and invoices. It runs on iPhone, iPad and the web.
How much does ChimSuite cost?
$69.99 per month for the company, which includes the admin login, plus $25 per month for each technician who needs their own login. Every company plan includes a monthly AI allowance. There is a 14-day free trial.
Does ChimSuite do Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspections?
Yes. Choose Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 as the report type. Level 2 adds the Interior Spaces section and a Video Scan section for camera inspections. Checklist wording references NFPA 211 and the appliance manufacturer’s requirements.
Can homeowners sign the inspection report?
Yes. Send a private customer link. The homeowner reviews the report on their phone, downloads the PDF and signs to acknowledge it. You can see when it was viewed and signed. You can also collect a signature on the job in person.
Does it work for dryer vent inspections?
Yes. Dryer vent is a system type in the inspection, and Explain has a 3D Dryer Vent lab showing lint buildup, crushed transition duct and blocked hoods.
How do the 3D explanations work?
Explain has eleven interactive 3D labs (masonry chimney, factory-built chimney, stove and connector, wood insert, gas insert, gas systems, gas venting, direct vent, house pressure, dryer vent and CO safety) with about 130 scenes. Pick a condition, drag the damage slider, and show the fix. Findings in a report can link to a scene, and Present to customer mode shows it alongside the photo.
Can ChimSuite measure chase covers and chimney caps?
Yes, to 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 inch, with holes, custom shapes, collars, storm collars, skirts, drip edge and material. Preview chase covers and cap lid styles in 3D, then email the spec to your fabricator in one tap.
How does fireplace insert matching work?
Measure the fireplace opening, depth, back wall and flue. The insert finder searches a catalog of 505 wood, gas and pellet inserts and lists the ones that fit, with BTU, heating area, liner size and the installation manual (on file for 502 of them). Add the insert to the estimate in one tap.
What is the 3-2-10 rule and does ChimSuite check it?
The 3-2-10 rule (IRC R1003.9) says a chimney must extend at least 3 feet above where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within 10 feet. ChimSuite’s 3-2-10 calculator takes chimney height, roof pitch and optional distance to the ridge, and tells you whether it passes and how much taller it needs to be.
What is ChimChat?
ChimChat is ChimSuite’s AI assistant for chimney pros. It answers installation, clearance, venting and troubleshooting questions from about 19,000 manufacturer manuals and shows page citations you can open. Always verify against the manual and your local code before acting.
Does ChimSuite work offline?
Yes. Inspections, measurements and notes save on the device and sync when you are back online. Voice notes recorded without signal are kept and typed in later, the insert catalog is cached on the device, and PDFs can be built on the device.
Does ChimSuite work with Housecall Pro, Jobber or Workiz?
Yes. A company admin connects Housecall Pro, Jobber or Workiz in Settings. Jobs come into ChimSuite, and finished reports go back to the job. Other systems can connect with inbound webhooks.
Does it run on iPad, Android or a computer?
ChimSuite is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. On Android, Windows or Mac, use the web app at chimeasure.com/app. The whole company shares one job list.
