Cold Weather Care for Your Chim-Scan® Equipment

It’s here. The time of year that drives your chimney sweeping business – cold weather. Keeping your Chim-Scan® inspection equipment in stable temperatures is essential during these more frigid temperatures. Here are some great tips for weather extremes:
• If the temperatures are near freezing, such as 35°, it is important to store your equipment where temperatures will be warmer and more stable.
• If you accidentally leave the equipment in a freezing environment, please let it warm up in a warm area before use. Extreme temperature changes can cause erratic operation and lead to malfunctions.
• On the other hand, when summer temperatures rise, try to keep this equipment stored at 80° and below. Extreme temperatures, especially on a roof, can damage equipment.
• Take your Chim-Scan® equipment with you at night. Please don’t leave it in the truck. It may get cold (or too hot in the summer) or stolen.
• When you finish the job, please put your equipment in the front of your vehicle when traveling. It usually doesn’t bounce as severely as the back (remember riding in the back of the bus when going to school?) If the equipment is in the front, there’s also less chance of something falling on it.
When winter weather arrives, your Chim-Scan® equipment, laptops, iPads, and cell phones require extra care. Be sure to use extra caution when driving and working. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us. Thank you for your business!
