As the temperatures are dipping into the 40’s most are turning on their Furnaces for the first time this season.

Please schedule or perform an annual tune up of your furnaces. This can catch many safety issues. You want your furnace working at peak performance. So, cleaning of burners, changing air filters, and adjusting flames may save you money. We recommend calling a professional to do this for you. One scheduled service call now can prevent you from the emergency repairs when it is freezing outside.

If you burn wood for heat, please have your chimneys or flue pipes cleaned yearly. A flue Fire can quickly spread into wood framing.

Test your detectors monthly. Both smoke detectors and Carbon Monoxide detectors. Please check the dates of manufacturing of your detectors. Replace smoke detectors every 10 years and CO detectors every 7 years. When we change the clocks, please replace the batteries in all your detectors.

A majority of false alarms are due to expired detectors. It also seems like most false alarms take place in the middle of the night 🤷‍♂️
