The ideal time is late spring or early fall. This is before the cold weather drives up fireplace use. Scheduling then ensures your chimney is ready for winter.
Watch for signs like excessive smoke in your home or a musty smell. You might also see soot around the fireplace opening. An annual inspection by a professional is the best approach.
