Stay Warm and Safe This Winter

With the cold weather we all tend to spend the majority of our time indoors trying to stay warm. While sometimes snuggling in bed and drinking hot tea will do the trick, Stevenson Service Experts is here with some tips on how to stay warm (and safe!) this winter. 

Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors 

Make sure you have carbon monoxide (CO) detectors installed on every floor of your home, specifically near bedrooms, and test them to verify they are operating. Since CO does not have a smell and cannot be detected, it’s important that you have operating 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 inspected by a specialist. The fireplace may be a source of CO if you don’t keep it properly cleaned and maintained. 

Be Careful with Space Heaters 
 
Space heaters are generally 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 contains an automatic shut-off feature. Observe all manufacturer’s instructions and ensure it is placed on a hard, level surface at least 3 feet away from any flammable products. 

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 ensure there are no leaks or carbon monoxide issues. Along with a heating tune-up, make sure your heating vents are not obstructed and that you’re changing your air filter each month. This will avoid the air flow from becoming restricted and help prevent allergens from aggravating respiratory issues. 

 
If You Need Help Staying Warm, Ask 

There are proper 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 accumulation of carbon monoxide.
