Flue readings, priced apart by frame
| Flue count row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| One-flue row | inside the $130-$380 band | $100-$250 |
| Two-flue row | inside the $130-$380 band | $250-$400 |
| Three-flue row | inside the $130-$380 band | $400-$700 |
| Additional-flue row | no added-flue split printed | each added flue stands as its own row |
Each reading is one frame counting of one flue row, never blended. Frame A prints no split by flue count, and that absence stands. Additional-flue lines stand as their own rows.

The appliance lines stand once here, shared by the flue rows, priced apart and never averaged.
Inspection levels behind the flue rows, printed once
| Inspection level row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Sweep-only row | inside the $130-$380 band | $275 stated average |
| Level 1 row | $160-$300 | no level split printed |

Level rows stand as their own rows on this guide, inside Frame A alone. The frames count the same sweeping job on different bases -- a sweep-with-inspection national band in Frame A ($130-$380, July 2026 average about $254) against an appliance-and-flue table in Frame B (2026 average $275). Frame A prints its levels inside its own frame alone; Frame B prints its appliance and flue rows inside its own frame alone. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Named apart, never a row here: chimney cap installation, chimney liner installation and relining, chimney repair, and the estimator tool -- this cluster carries no cap, liner, repair, or estimator guide of its own.
The local read
The local read: the frames above are national published frames, and a written quote for one address, one appliance, and one flue count is the only local figure; the frames stand as published, apart, and never blended into a local band.
