Imagine this: you are comfortably seated on the sofa, surrounded by soft cushions and a blanket. In front of you, a large window gives you a spectacular view of the mountains, with the warm colours of autumn illuminating the landscape. With a cup of tea in your hands, you lose yourself in reading your favourite book. The atmosphere is perfect: the pellet cooker crackles gently, offering an enveloping warmth that makes you forget the cold outside. The firelight dances across the wooden walls, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity that only a well-kept home can provide.
This is the perfect image of a safe and comfortable home, where moments of happiness are shared and remembered forever.
But what would happen if this idyllic image turned into a nightmare?
A dirty chimney accumulates soot and highly flammable substances. A single spark can trigger a devastating fire, putting your loved ones in imminent danger. In addition, a clogged chimney can prevent the proper evacuation of combustion gases, such as carbon monoxide, an odourless and deadly gas.
This gas can accumulate inside the home, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea and, in the worst cases, death.
We're not just talking about structural damage caused by fire or soot build-up, which can require costly repairs. A poorly maintained chimney can affect the energy efficiency of your home, increasing your heating bills and reducing the lifespan of your heating appliances.
Why does the Government of Andorra require the maintenance of your boilers and chimneys?
According to the decree published in the BOPA in 2006, it is compulsory to have a maintenance service contracted with a company authorised by the government. These regulations are not only a bureaucratic formality, but also a safety measure for you and your family.
Are you complying with current regulations?
It is important to be aware that insurers may disregard claims if you do not present the chimney cleaning invoice. Keep up to date with the following information and advice.
The Decomant Group management team wants you to reflect and be aware that you don't need to know the techniques and tools of industrial cleaning, but you do need to sufficiently appreciate the need for proper maintenance and good prevention for your family. You may not be aware of the problems with your chimney or boiler, because it is often easy to attribute the problems to other causes.
