Ian Myers:

Tina Twyne:
When you first contact us by phone, email or showroom visit you will likely be greeted by Tina who is the Office Manager and CFO.
Working closely with Ian - Tina has acquired an impressive knowledge of all important, technical aspects of system trouble-shooting as well as the ability to assist clients with purchasing a wood-burning appliance that fits their needs and budget.
Tina and Ian are equal business partners who each know their strengths and share every important decision.
"We are committed to being insured in the categories required for our industry":
CGL: Commercial General Liability
E&O: Errors and Omissions
WSIB: Workplace Safety Insurance Board
It is astounding how many businesses claim to be 'fully' insured, well, we think that if they say it, then they should be willing to prove it, what do you think?
I sweep chimneys all year long, diagnose and make repairs; We sell and install complete chimney systems and the wood burning appliances that everyone else is selling, or if you prefer we can provide the cleanest burning, longest burning wood stoves in the world (Blaze King) with up to 40 hours burn time. Ask Tina, or myself and we will tell you and show you the difference!
We are the people to call for your regular chimney sweeping or if you have trouble with your wood burning system. We are skilled at trouble shooting mysterious problems or assessing your system compliance, including whether or not the components are installed as they should be. When booking your chimney sweep please let us know how your system is working for you or if you have any concerns - this puts us in a better position to advise and assist you.
We have an attitude of constant learning.
We do not pretend to know everything.
Our goal is to find the source of the problem and remedy it in the most reasonable way, or at least provide you with an accurate assessment and the best strategy of system operation. The more efficiently your stove burns the less impact there is on the environment which also means more heat for your home.
Wood-burning is a renewable resource and an experienced, qualified, caring chimney sweep plays an important part.
At Myers Chimney we routinely participate in educational opportunities to expand our knowledge and ability to provide the best service possible. Wood burning is not rocket science - its chimney physics, we would be happy to explain this to you during your phone / showroom consultation or when I come out to sweep your chimney.
Remember: The Only Thing Better Than A Good Service Provider Is A Great Customer!
Best Regards,
Ian Myers

Ian Myers has been instrumental in WETT acknowledging the need for, as well as the development and implementation of Standards of Practice for WETT inspectors. For the record, Ian has not been satisfied with the results. The goal was to have a standard of care that applied to all members since many members have multiple occupations, more than just inspectors. Sadly, WETT has not developed to this point.
He participated in the development of the new WETT inspection forms and the new WETT inspection course regarding the use of those forms and inspection processes. All new WETT inspectors have commenced education in this process and previously certified members are required to upgrade their courses.
Ian (formerly) worked closely with the President Matt Harwood to standardize the WETT chimney sweeping process to ensure a minimum level of care - this work could not be completed.
He (formerly) served as the WETT National Vice President (3 terms) and the Chairman of the WETT Communications Committee.
He sits on the CSA (The Canadian Standards Association) B365-25 Technical Committee (Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment in Canada) as a voting member.
He is a (former) WETT Course Instructor in-training.
Ian was a certified as a Chimney Sweep by CSIA The Chimney Safety Institute of America - who provide specific training regarding chimney inspection while sweeping (NFPA 211-19) Chimney Maintenance and Inspection.
Myers Chimney is a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild.
Ian was a regular contributor to WETT educational material through various WETT Committees.
He also provides, when requested, expert opinion reports for industry related court proceedings as well as providing assistance to Forensic Engineers performing site examinations where chimney systems are the suspected causes of fire losses.
