Stay Warm and Safe This Winter

With the winter season we all tend to spend most of our time indoors trying to stay warm. While sometimes curling up with a blanket and drinking hot cocoa will do the trick, Stevenson Service Experts is here with a few tips on how to stay warm (and safe!) this season. 

Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors 

Make sure you have carbon monoxide (CO) detectors installed on each floor of your home, especially near bedrooms, and test them to make sure they are functioning. Since CO cannot be detected because it is odorless and invisible, it’s important that you have operating CO detectors to make sure your family is safe. 

Get Your Chimney Inspection 

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

Be Careful with Space Heaters 
 
Space heaters are generally safe, energy efficient, and an effective way to heat small sections of your home, but verify it has been authorized by a recognized testing laboratory and has an automatic shut-off feature. Observe all manufacturer’s instructions and be sure it is placed on a hard, level surface at least 36 inches away from any flammable products. 

Furnace Tune-Up 

With a heating tune-up from Stevenson Service Experts in Columbus, we will perform a safety check of your heating equipment to be sure there are no leaks or CO problems. Along with a heating tune-up, confirm your heating vents are not blocked and that you’re changing your air filter every month. This will avoid the air flow from becoming restricted and help stop allergens from exacerbating respiratory issues. 

 
If You Need Help Staying Warm, Ask 

There are right 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 devices to heat your home could result in a fire or a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide.
