Stay Warm and Safe This Winter

With the winter season we all tend to spend more time indoors trying to stay warm. While sometimes snuggling in bed and drinking coffee will do the trick, Stevenson Service Experts is here with a couple tips on how to stay warm (and safe!) this season. 

Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors 

Confirm you have carbon monoxide (CO) detectors installed on every floor of your home, particularly near bedrooms, and test them to confirm they are functioning. Since CO is an odorless gas and cannot be detected, it’s crucial that you have working CO detectors to make sure your home is safe. 

Get Your Chimney Inspection 

This is the right time of year to get the fireplace roaring, but before you do, ensure you have your chimney cleaned and examined by an expert. The fireplace may be a source of CO if you don’t keep it regularly cleaned and maintained. 

Be Careful with Space Heaters 
 
Space heaters are typically safe, energy efficient, and an effective way to heat small sections of your home, but confirm it has been approved by a recognized testing laboratory and comes with an automatic shut-off feature. Obey all manufacturer’s instructions and ensure it is placed on a hard, level surface at least three feet away from anything flammable. 

Furnace Tune-Up 

With a Precision tune-up from Stevenson Service Experts in Columbus, we will perform a safety check of your heating system to be sure there are no leaks or CO issues. Along with a Precision tune-up, confirm your heating vents are free from obstruction and that you’re changing your air filter each month. This will prevent the air flow from becoming restricted and help avoid allergens from exacerbating respiratory issues. 

 
If You Need Help Staying Warm, Ask 

There are correct ways and wrong ways to make sure your home is heated – using the oven, a grill, or a camp stove are all wrong ways. Using these appliances to heat your home could result in a fire or a dangerous reserve of carbon monoxide.
