Smoke Detectors Need Checked Regularly
This is one of the most essential home heating safety tips. Although it is fairly common sense, we still have to remind people, nevertheless. Each and every home needs to have good, reliable smoke detectors in place on every floor of the home. This includes the basement. There needs to be a smoke detector inside every bedroom and outside every bedroom in addition to every area used for sleeping. The smoke detectors need to be in good working order, and they need to be tested frequently. Smoke detectors should be located on the ceiling or high up on the wall near the ceiling. Testing them is something that needs to be done once a month to check batteries and make sure they’re still good.
Replace Your Furnace Air Filter Regularly
Home heating systems, like all types of HVAC equipment, require proper air flow. Without proper airflow to your furnace, it can develop into a major safety hazard. Make sure to check your furnace’s air filter once every month during the wintertime to keep airflow optimal. If you find the filter needs cleaning or needs replaced, which is more often the case than not, make sure to do so. Regularly checking and replacing air filters is essential for all HVAC equipment.
Give Your Heating System Enough Space (and Respect)
Furnaces generate large amounts of heat. That’s what they’re made to do. Because they produce so much heat, they need to be given adequate space. If you store anything in the room with your furnace, which you should avoid doing, if possible, make sure not to place anything that might be considered flammable anywhere near the furnace. This includes boxes, paint, carpet, newspapers, and other chemicals. A minimum of three feet of space surrounding your heating system is the standard rule of thumb. Additionally, if you have children in your home, make sure they understand never to play around the furnace and not to go near it. Warn your kids. Educate your family. Give your furnace the respect it deserves.
Furnace Maintenance Includes Furnace Inspection
If you want to ensure your furnace is safe heading into the wintertime, it’s essential you have one of our furnace experts perform a heating system safety check. Heating systems safety inspections are part of routine seasonal maintenance. It includes a furnace tune-up. We handle all of this when you have us handle your home heating system needs.
