We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Gelco. We’re an independent company led by Noel Cardenas, and we service their equipment because we’ve spent years working on it in rural Southern California. If you need parts or deeper repair work on your Gelco system, we can usually handle that in the same visit, so you’re not waiting on a second contractor.

Why Nuevo Residents Choose Us for Gelco Service

Gelco factory-built chimneys are common on Nuevo’s manufactured homes and older rural properties, and they fail in predictable ways that a general handyman often misses. We know the 2100 and 3000 series well enough to spot trouble before it becomes a blocked flue or a rusted-out chase. You can read more about our overall approach on our Gelco sales & service page, but the short version is this: we stock the caps, spark arrestors, and connector sections these systems need, so repair doesn’t turn into a two-week parts delay.

Noel Cardenas grew up in the Rancho San Diego area and has spent close to three decades learning how Southern California homes actually breathe. That matters here because Nuevo, CA climate punishes chimneys in a specific way: long, hot, dry summers bake the exterior while the interior sits cold and unused, and then December hits and the wood stove runs for six weeks straight. That cycle is hard on Gelco chimney sections, particularly the outer casing and lock seams. We inspect for exactly that.

Common Gelco Chimney Cleaning Problems We Solve in Nuevo

• Corroded outer casing and failing lock seams. Gelco chimney sections expand and contract with Nuevo’s hot days and cool nights. Over years, the outer casing develops rust at the seams, especially where the chimney passes through a chase or roof penetration. We catch this during routine sweeps, often before it compromises the system.
• Creosote buildup in wood stove connector pipe. Many Nuevo homes burn wood through older Gelco chimney systems with uninsulated or poorly fitted stovepipe sections. Creosote hardens in those areas during the burning season and won’t brush out with a standard sweep if it’s been left for multiple seasons. We remove staged creosote and check the pipe clearances while we’re at it.
• Missing or failed spark arrestors and caps.
