Review Emergency Checklist

Safety first! Go through your home and check fire extinguishers. Make sure you have emergency numbers on hand in case of a stove or chimney fire.

Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working order. Replace batteries and test them to guarantee your home is protected.

Inspect & Clean Your Stove or Fireplace

Clean out ashes and soot buildup, and check glass doors, gaskets, and seals for wear. Need a professional cleaning? Contact us – we’re here to help!

Schedule Preventative Maintenance

Annual tune-ups extend the life of your appliance and can lower heating costs. Have your stove, insert, or fireplace inspected to ensure it’s running efficiently and safely.

Check Chimney & Venting

Creosote buildup in chimneys can lead to chimney fires. Inspect and sweep your chimney to remove any buildup of soot, debris, or nests that could obstruct airflow.

Order Fuel Early

Make sure you have enough heating oil, wood pellets, or firewood to last through the season. Ordering ahead ensures you’re stocked before demand rises. We sell wood pellets for heating fuel with delivery available!

Stock Up on Essentials

Fireplace tools, pellet ash vacuums, stove cleaners, and fire starters can make the season easier. Make sure you have what you need to get through the season!

Clear the Area Around Stove or Fireplace

Move furniture, curtains, and other items at least three feet away from heat sources for safety.
