This can accumulate when one burns unseasoned wood and other products that shouldn't be burned indoors. However, even seasoned would will eventually cause enough build up that a cleaning is recommended. If you use the fireplace to heat your house on a regular bases a yearly cleaning may be a good idea. Typical cleanings are not that expensive, yet routine cleaning can be performed by the home owner using a soot brush kit available at all home centers. The brush comes with a set of pole that all interlock together to make a long handle to reach deep into the chimney. All you have to do is scrub up and down the walls to loosen the debris. Be sure to fist, though, have your hearth well sealed up with plastic so the soot doesn't fall out into your house when you are cleaning it.

If it has a fire every night, I'd service it every two years. Also, avoid burning construction lumber, it leaves a lot of byproduct in its smoke. A fire place only used on weekends during the colder times, have the fireplace done once very ten years. It depends how much you use it. If it has a fire every night, I’d service it every two years.
