Describe the cold winters, nor'easters, coastal wind and freeze-thaw cycles that affect your property.

Stop using an appliance that is producing smoke indoors, or when its safety is uncertain. If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds or someone feels unwell, move outside to fresh air and contact emergency services. Have the cause assessed before use resumes.

Request a written description of the inspection or work, the flue and appliance covered, access requirements, setup and cleanup, materials, exclusions, likely additional charges, documentation and any warranty terms. A low total is difficult to compare without the same written scope.
