We are committed to providing you service that is second to none. With that promise, we would like to remind you of yearly maintenance issues that are associated with the wood-burning unit in your home:
• Frequently check the unit and chimney flues
• Inspect the chimney from the roof, using a flashlight to look for obstructions or damage
• Check the stovepipes for creosote build-up
• If a creosote build-up is identified, have the chimney and stove professionally cleaned
• Burn only seasoned wood, preferably 2 years old
• Keep combustible materials away to avoid the danger of ignition
• Alert children to the hazard of high surface temperatures, and keep them away from the stove to prevent burns or clothing ignition
• Maintain a multi-purpose fire extinguisher near the stove
• Check the date on the extinguisher and on the smoke detectors
These types of service reminders are just one more reason policyholders of Smith and Eddy Insurance are not just purchasing a promise of future service; they are entering into a relationship that starts today! It’s our history, experience, and commitment to service that separate Smith and Eddy Insurance from the rest of the industry.
