2005 is Chimney Inspection Year
Our regulations state that fireplaces and chimneys must be inspected
every two years, regardless of whether or not you use them. This is an
inspection year. After the inspection and cleaning, if necessary, you’ll receive a certificate from the
certified chimney sweep which
needs to submitted to the Board no later than October 1, 2005. A
$200 fine will be assessed after October 1 unless we have notification
of an appointment made before October 1. Official
Rules and Regulations
Most of our unit owners use Top Hat in Grafton.
They are good and reasonable.
Of course,
we are not officially endorsing Top Hat, you may use any certified
chimney sweep. Pellet Stoves -
Guidelines regarding pellet stoves Official
Rules and Regulations
Pellet stoves are one type of
heat generating stove allowed in Paul Revere Village. There are several
pellet stoves installed in the village. The stoves that we are aware of
fit into the fireplace and are sold by Higgins Energy (www.higginsenergy.com)
located in Barre. We understand the cost is in the area of $3400
installed. The stoves must be professionally installed and inspected by
the town inspector. We probably could connect you with a pellet stove
owner to gain further information. Glen
We invite those of you with pellet
stoves to tell us what you think of them... use the discussion
group forum or just email me and I will post your observations,
suggestions, etc.. Are there big savings on your heating bill? Are they
clean? Easy to maintain?
