Stay Safe from Carbon Monoxide Risks This Winter with Home Care Heating and Air
As temperatures drop and your furnace starts working overtime, it’s more important than ever to make sure your home is protected from carbon monoxide risks. Carbon Monoxide is a silent danger—odorless, colorless, and invisible to the eye—making it essential to take the right precautions. Here are a few tips from Home Care Heating and Air to help keep your household safe this winter:
1. Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Place carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home, particularly near bedrooms where they’ll be most effective at alerting you. These detectors are your first line of defense, and it’s crucial to ensure they’re in good working order. Make a habit of changing the batteries at least once a year.
2. Keep Vents Clear: Snow, ice, and other debris can obstruct your furnace and dryer vents, causing dangerous Carbon Monoxide levels to accumulate indoors. Be sure to check your outside vents regularly, especially after heavy snowfall, and clear away any obstructions to allow safe ventilation.
3. Schedule Furnace Maintenance: A yearly furnace inspection is a simple yet vital step to catch potential issues before they become serious hazards. Our experts at Home Care Heating and Air can provide a thorough checkup to ensure your heating system is both safe and efficient, helping you enjoy a warm, worry-free winter.
