History
The National Chimney Sweep Guild was founded in 1977, prompted by increased woodstove use following the oil embargo crisis of the early to mid-1970s. As a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association, NCSG promotes the success of chimney and venting businesses through education, events, and advocacy.
The Guild convenes the industry at two annual conferences—the NCSG Convention and Annual Meetings held each spring, and the Chimney Expo held each August. The convention has grown into the largest gathering of chimney professionals in North America. The 2027 edition in Hershey, PA marks the organization's 50th anniversary. Since 2021, NCSG has been professionally managed by Amplify Association Management.
