Tips to Safely Heat Your Home This Winter

Each year over 20,000 people visit the emergency room because of carbon monoxide poisoning. This colorless, odorless gas is known as the silent killer because it’s essentially undetectable without a carbon monoxide detector. 

Carbon monoxide, as confirmed by the CDC, is given off by gas ranges, furnaces, fireplaces, stoves, and boilers so it only makes sense that carbon monoxide poisoning climbs during the winter months when people are trying to keep their homes heated. To help keep your home safe, Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is here with some tips to safety warm your home. 

  • Install a CO detector on each floor of your home and swap out the batteries yearly. 
  • Keep all potential sources of combustion, such as bedding, paper, or clothing, a distance over three feet away from fireplaces, furnaces, stoves, or space heaters. 
  • Before starting a fire in the fireplace, always check to confirm the chimney damper is open and unobstructed. 
  • Never leave portable heaters or fireplaces neglected. Shut off space heaters and confirm all embers in the fireplace are completely extinguished before leaving the area. 
  • Space heaters should always be positioned on the floor, and on a hard, fire-resistant surface, like porcelain tile. Keep young ones and furbabies away from space heaters. 
  • When purchasing a new space heater, invest in a model that powers off automatically if the heater tips over. 
  • Never use a cooking range to increase the temperature in your home. 
  • Have wood and coal stoves, fireplaces, chimneys and gas or oil furnaces professionally inspected and cleaned every year. 

The best thing you can do for your heating system is to ensure it’s not only ready to keep your home warm all winter but also safe, is to call for your furnace tune-up. During your heating tune-up, Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing will check to ensure your furnace is operating safely with a complete multi-point inspection and cleaning.
