Home Heating Safety Tips

With colder weather right around the corner, don't forget to abide by these safety tips to make sure your home HVAC system stays as efficient and safe as possible:

Keep Your Furnace Air Filter Clean

A clogged and dirty air filter risks carbon monoxide leakage from your furnace. Clean or replace them every 4 to 6 weeks.

Don't Allow Children to Play next to the Furnace

Children are curious and the furnace grill gets very hot. Kids are likely to leave toys and other objects lying around the furnace.

Have Your Home Heating System Inspected by a Heating Repair Professional

Be prepared for old man winter. If you haven't done so, get your furnace and heating system checked out by a heating repair professional. It will not only ensure your safety, but increase the system's efficiency and reduce your heating bills. If you have any outstanding repair issues, get them resolved before the weather gets cold.
