Schedule routine maintenance check-ups for your heating system.

The best way to ensure your heating equipment is working the way it should be is to get it thoroughly checked by an HVAC professional on a regular basis. It’s important to take a preventative approach with your heating system, as emergency repairs are usually more costly than regular maintenance work.

Remember to turn off portable or mobile heaters.

We understand the energy efficiency of having a portable or mobile heater, but you need to ensure you turn these heaters off when they are not in use — especially whenever you leave the room or doze off to sleep. Always monitor your heating systems for ultimate safety.

Follow basic heating equipment safety rules.

A lot of heating equipment safety rules might seem like common sense, but just in case, we’ve listed some very basic safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association you should practice in your household below:

  • Keep any flammable items at least three feet away from your heating equipment (i.e. your furnace, wood stove, portable space heaters, etc.)
  • Don’t use your oven to heat the entirety of your home.
  • Always use the correct kind of fuel in your burning space heater, usually specified by the manufacturer.
  • Keep any children at least three feet away from open fires or space heaters.
  • Test your smoke alarm batteries about once a month to make sure everything is working properly.
