Is Your Chimney Ready For Santa?

Santa is already making appearances at the mall and taking photos with the kids and getting their wish lists and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. But, Christmas is right around the corner and now is the time to do your chimney maintenance for several reasons.

One of major ways to do cut down on stress and energy loss is by targeting potential problems and working to fix them. Wasted energy such as major leaks is wasted money. In order to effectively target areas of energy loss it is best to have an energy audit done on your home.

A whole home energy audit or evaluation can be completed by a certified B.P.I individual who tests the efficiency of your home. We at Four Star are B.P.I. Certified by the way. Afterwards, recommendations for savings based on your home’s unique needs are made. These can include attic insulation and rim joist sealing as well as duct sealing, purchasing programmable thermostats, etc.

Utility companies offer rebates when you make changes like the ones above. When thinking about adding insulation or sealing research what rebates your utility company offers for those procedures and what the requirements are to receive them.

So while you and your family are busy shopping and cooking for the holidays, let us take care of the rest and save your wallet some money this year.

Don’t forget to leave the flue open for Santa!
