Fireplace expertise runs in Nolan Calkin’s family. In 1982, his father, Gil, founded Sweep’s Luck Chimney Service. Nolan’s grandfather, Fred Webster, founded Buck Energy Center, a longtime fireplace shop that began in Rim Forest and later moved to Blue Jay.
 

When Gil retired and moved to Virginia in 2004, Nolan and his brother, Nathan, purchased Sweep’s Luck from him. The brothers later acquired Buck Energy Center from their grandfather.
 

Nolan eventually bought out his brother’s share and brought Buck Energy Center under the Sweep’s Luck name. The company became Sweep’s Luck Chimney Service & Fireplaces, the name it uses today.

Nolan partnered with his longtime friend Daniel Swedo to bring Sweep’s Luck to San Diego. Daniel has helped make the San Diego operation successful, earning more than 538 five-star Google reviews and 204 five-star Yelp reviews.
 

Nolan has been active in the community for many years. He served on the Lake Arrowhead Chamber of Commerce board of directors for more than a decade, including two years as board chair. He also helped grow Brewfest, an annual charity event, and led it for more than 10 years. The event continues to thrive and still sells out each year.
 

Located on the lower level of the company’s Highway 189 facility in Blue Jay, the welcoming Sweep’s Luck showroom makes it easy to compare fireplace and home-heating options in person.
 

The showroom displays custom glass doors, fireplace mantels, gas log sets, classic black potbellied stoves with modern, energy-efficient heating technology, and electric inserts and fireplaces that provide a realistic appearance without burning wood or gas.

Visitors to Goodwin’s Market can see a model supplied by Sweep’s Luck in the new upstairs seating area.
 

Buyers can personalize many details to suit their home and style. Glass doors are available with a choice of colors, finishes, and knobs, while gas inserts can be customized by unit style and color, interior wall design, and preferred log style.
 

The showroom was completely remodeled in 2024 and now features new, current, state-of-the-art displays.
 

Sweep’s Luck has served the local community for more than 44 years. The company is fully insured and holds a California state contractor license
