Fall Season Safety Checklist

It's only fair to share...

Here are some things you can do to prepare your home for the cooler weather to ensure it’s running efficiently and safely:

Outside the house:

Ensure furnace vents are not blocked from the outside by any objects or other obstructions.

Store fuel (i.e. gasoline in approved containers, propane tanks) outside. Keep them away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.

Inside the house:

Have the furnace, fireplace and chimney inspected.

Make sure warm-air outlets and cold-air returns are clear of carpets, furniture and debris.

When time to change your clocks, change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
