CHIMNEY SAFETY
The chimney is the oldest and most reliable way to remove smoke and hazardous gasses from your home’s heating source. But who do you turn to when you want to ensure your chimney is safe and clean? Simple…the same people you depend on for all your heating and cooling needs … Santa Energy.
Each year, an average of 25,000 home fires result from improperly cared for chimneys.* That’s why the National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys, fireplaces and vents be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits and correct clearance. Santa Energy can help you keep your family safe by maintaining your chimney. We offer regular preventive maintenance on fireplace flues, oil flues and wood stoves. Our preventive maintenance includes inspecting and/or sweeping your flues annually.
