Important Steps that
You Can Take to Protect Your Family
·
Invest in a carbon monoxide
detector, preferably one with a
digital display.
The digital type will tell you when
carbon monoxide is present, even if
the levels are too low to set off
the alarm to go off. These lower
levels could alert you to a
potential problem. Even if the
levels are low, you'll want to take
action as you don't want anyone in
your home, especially young
children, breathing this poisonous
gas. Note that a carbon monoxide
detector is NOT a substitution for
annual service.
·
Never attempt to service your gas
boiler or furnace yourself. This is one
plumbing job that absolutely
requires a qualified professional
with special knowledge and tools.
When done properly, your heating
equipment will be more efficient and
you'll rest easy knowing that it's
in good working order. When
attempted by a nonprofessional,
results could be disastrous!
·
Contact a qualified professional for
any heating issue immediately.
It's common for homeowners to be
aware of a problem toward the end of
winter and then forget about it
until the cold temperatures return.
No, the problem won't fix itself
during the summer! By the time the
homeowner remembers that the heater
needs to be fixed, the weather's
already cold and the heating
professionals are booked!
·
Don't postpone annual gas boiler or
furnace service calls. While it's
tempting to postpone an annual
maintenance task, annual gas boiler
and furnace service is a must.
Contact a licensed, insured
professional to service your gas
boiler or furnace today. This is one
service call you can't afford not to
do. |
