Stay Warm and Safe This Winter

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

Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors 

Verify you have carbon monoxide (CO) detectors installed on each floor of your home, specifically near bedrooms, and test them to make sure they are operating. Since CO does not have a smell and cannot be detected, it’s important that you have functioning CO detectors to make sure your family is safe. 

Get Your Chimney Inspection 

This is the perfect time of year to get the fireplace roaring, but before you do, make sure you have your chimney cleaned and checked by a specialist. The fireplace can be a source of CO if you don’t have it regularly cleaned and maintained. 

Be Careful with Space Heaters 
 
Space heaters are typically safe, energy efficient, and an effective way to heat small areas of your home, but verify it has been authorized by a recognized testing laboratory and comes with an automatic shut-off feature. Obey all manufacturer’s instructions and be sure it is placed on a hard, level surface at least 3 feet away from any flammable items. 

Furnace Tune-Up 

With a Precision 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 carbon monoxide issues. Along with a Precision tune-up, verify your heating vents are not obstructed and that you’re replacing your air filter every month. This will keep the air flow unrestricted and help avoid allergens from irritating respiratory issues. 

 
If You Need Help Staying Warm, Ask 

There are right ways and wrong ways to keep your home warm – 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.
