Once every three months, as well as before the start of the heating season, it is necessary to clean chimneys and stoves from soot.

Chimneys should be made of red brick, equipped with spark arresters.

In attics, all chimneys and walls in which house channels pass must be whitewashed.

Installation of metal furnaces that do not meet the requirements of fire safety standards and specifications is not allowed.

When installing temporary metal and other factory-made furnaces, in particular, in residential buildings, the instructions of the manufacturers of these types of products must be followed, as well as the requirements of design standards for heating systems.
