As overnight temperatures drop, families will continue to use heaters to stay warm. To make sure you’re heating your home safely, review the following simple tips to stay warm this season.
Test your smoke detectors regularly, and make sure you have at least one carbon monoxide detector in your home.
Never use propane heaters, barbecues, hibachis—or any heater with an open flame—indoors. They produce carbon monoxide, a clear, odorless gas that can be fatal to humans and animals.
When using electric space heaters, make sure they are completely unobstructed on all sides, and turn them off when leaving the room.
Never use an appliance like a kerosene heater, propane gas grill or heater, stove, oven, or dryer to heat your home.
