Inspection of stoves and chimneys has begun

With the growing problem of smog, special attention is paid to the control of boilers, furnaces and domestic chimneys. Until the end of 2023, owners of old boilers and chimneys had to replace them with devices that meet the new standards. Officials will verify that this duty has been fulfilled.

It will also check that household boilers are not burning waste using drones that take waste samples directly from chimneys. Violation of anti-smog legislation can entail severe financial fines, up to 5 thousand zlotys.

Chimney and chimney inspections are designed to ensure the safety of residents and protect them from the risk of fire. It is therefore worth remembering that regular inspections by chimney sweeps, recommended at least once a year, are mandatory for all homeowners. Therefore, be sure to remove debris from chimneys and vents to avoid soot buildup that can lead to dangerous situations.

Energy meter monitoring

Another control element is electricity meters. Energy distributors will verify the correct use of meters and monitor potential abuses to verify correct use of meters and compliance with concluded contracts. Violations can result in incorrect energy consumption readings and therefore incorrect billing.
