Fire Prevention Week 2024 | Smoke Alarms
For many Ohio residents, fireplaces and stoves are essential in winter! They provide warm nights and a place to gather together for the holidays. However, a badly maintained fireplace, insert, or stove can become dangerous! This is why The Chimney Guys of Pataskala, OH is joining forces with the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA) for Fire Prevention Week™! This year from October 6th to 12th, 2024, you should be focusing on making your home fire safe!
The theme of NFPA’s 2024 Fire Prevention Week is “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work For You!”
Smoke detectors save lives!
An operational smoke detector is the most critical safety feature for any home. It acts as your early warning system and gives you and your family time to escape in case of an emergency.
You should have a smoke detector installed in every bedroom. If you are missing any contact your local fire department immediately. In many areas, they provide and install smoke detectors free of charge.
Smoke detectors should then be tested every single month and replaced every ten years.
Once your smoke detectors are ready to go, it’s time to hire a CSIA-certified chimney sweep!
Benefits of CSIA/NCSG Certification:
- Expertise: All CSIA certified sweeps are experts in their field! Each technician has an in-depth knowledge of chimneys. They can install, operate, and perform maintenance on any chimney system.
- Inspections: Certified sweeps are able to perform comprehensive annual chimney inspections and identify any damage.
- Sweep & Repair: An annual inspection often goes hand in hand with your annual chimney sweeping! Our certified professionals can also complete any necessary repairs.
The technicians we send to work on your chimney have all demonstrated top-level skills and a genuine concern for the comfort and wellbeing of our customers. You need professionals for chimney repair, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with The Chimney Guys of Columbus.
Schedule a Sweep & Inspection
By scheduling an annual, diagnostic, or emergency inspection when needed, you’ll stay on top of your chimney’s condition, keep up to date with repairs, and allow it to continue working safely and efficiently.
You should schedule a sweep and inspection annually, following a chimney fire, if you know of major chimney damage, when a real estate inspection is needed, or when you are adding an appliance to your chimney or otherwise altering the system.
