a simple Sheat shield in order to meet codeA second inspection was performed by JC Heating on August 23, JC Heating provide an inspection report for the oil burner chimney and burner and controlsThis was an visual inspection report and not a Chimney Certification and or a Heater Certification or a inspection for code violationsThe oil tank system, oil lines and electrical system was not part of

that the Chimney or Heater were up to NFPA CodesBoth the home owner and Bristol Township accepted our reports without question.Please note: JC Heating did not install or make any repairs to the heating system or oil chimneyWhen this heater was installed or the oil chimney relined it was the property owner responsibility to obtain a building permit and have the heating system inspected by the locale authority having jurisdiction(township building inspector) to inspect the new heating system and chimney liner for proper installation and any code violationsJC Heating does not accept responsibility for a heating system or chimney that we did not install or repair or installations and repairs made by others.Locale Township inspection formats have changed (Bristol Townships as others now require notification of code violations) and Building Codes have change since and as of result of all these changes, when we inspected the home on November 9, our inspection report
