SHOULD NEW CHIMNEYS BE INSPECTED MORE OFTEN THAT OLDER CHIMNEYS

Not exactly!  The primary purpose of a chimney inspection is to check the extent of the creosote build up.  Generally, any more than ¼ of an inch of creosote in a flue indicates that the flue should be swept and new chimneys are no more prone to accumulating creosote than older chimneys, nor are older chimneys more prone to collecting creosote than newer chimneys. 

Annual inspections are the general rule for fireplaces and chimneys that get moderate use during the heating season.  That rule of thumb assumes that reasonable burning techniques are used. The problem is that not everybody uses wood stoves or fireplaces properly. The burning of unseasoned wood, damp or wet wood, the burning of too much soft wood and fires with an insufficient supply of oxygen can all lead to generating significant accumulations of creosote in rather short periods of time.

New users of a fireplace or stove, whether the fireplace or stove is old or new, should have their chimneys inspected more frequently until they are better able to judge their burning techniques and make adjustments if necessary.  The chimney sweep technician who makes the first or second inspection will be able to advise them, if necessary.  He can also advise the homeowner if annual chimney inspections will be sufficient.

Of course, stoves, chimneys and fireplaces that get heavy usage should be inspected more often than those that receive average use.
