Stay Warm and Safe This Winter

With the winter weather we all tend to spend more time indoors trying to stay warm. While sometimes snuggling in bed and drinking coffee will do the trick, Parker Pearce Service Experts is here with a couple 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, especially near bedrooms, and test them to make sure they are working. Since CO is an odorless gas and cannot be detected, it’s vital that you have working CO detectors to make sure your family is safe. 

Get Your Chimney Inspection 

This is the perfect time of year to get the fireplace up and running, but before you do, ensure you have your chimney cleaned and inspected by an expert. 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 make sure it has been approved by a recognized testing laboratory and comes with an automatic shut-off feature. Obey all manufacturer’s instructions and ensure it is placed on a hard, level surface at least 36 inches away from any flammable items. 

Furnace Tune-Up 

With a Precision tune-up from Parker Pearce Service Experts in Gaithersburg, we will perform a safety check of your heating equipment to ensure there are no leaks or CO problems. Along with a heating tune-up, make sure your heating vents are not blocked and that you’re replacing your air filter each 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 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 cause a fire or a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide.
