Protect Your Family and Keep Your Home Safe
A fire department is dispatched to a working structure fire every structure every 24 seconds in the United States. Heating equipment is the leading cause of house fires, affecting an estimated 48,000 homes annually. These house fires also cause roughly 500 civilian deaths, around 1,300+ civilian injuries, and nearly $1.1 billion in direct property damage yearly!
The kicker? These home fires are largely preventable! The leading factor in home fires involving heating equipment is simply the failure to maintain and clean the equipment properly. Hiring a NCSG-certified professional for annual inspections and service will help prevent house fires and keep your family safe.
Avoid Expensive Chimney Issues
Regularly maintaining your chimney will help avoid expensive repairs in the future. We’re not saying your chimney will never need repair, but regular inspections and cleanings will help prolong the life of your chimney system by ensuring harmful deposits of creosote and animal matter aren’t collecting within your chimney.
