As temperatures drop, furnaces become indispensable for home heating. However, ensuring your furnace operates safely is crucial to prevent hazards. Here’s how you can maintain safety while keeping your home warm this winter.

Safety Tips for Your Furnace:

Regular Maintenance: Schedule annual inspections with Marsh Heating to ensure your furnace is in top condition. Our maintenance plans offer comprehensive checks that can prevent potential safety issues and extend the life of your unit.
Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless but highly dangerous. Install detectors near your furnace and in sleeping areas to ensure your family’s safety.
Keep the Area Clear: Ensure there are no flammable materials near your furnace. This includes keeping the area free from storage, papers, and chemicals that could ignite.
Check the Flame: The flame in your gas furnace should burn bright blue. If it’s yellow or flickering, it could indicate a problem, such as the presence of carbon monoxide. Call for service if the flame is not blue.
Test Safety Switches: Modern furnaces have built-in safety switches that automatically shut down the furnace if a problem is detected. Test these switches to ensure they are functional.
Consider a New Furnace: If your furnace is old and requires frequent repairs, it might be time to consider a new installation. New furnaces offer improved safety features, efficiency, and reliability.

Following these furnace safety tips can help you enjoy a safe, warm winter without unexpected breakdowns or safety hazards. Remember, keeping up with regular maintenance is the best way to ensure your furnace’s safety and efficiency.
