With the cold weather just around the corner, we would like to have everyone prepared for the turning on of the furnaces and starting to burn wood.
Carbon monoxide.......
Some things to remember when turning on your furnace for the first time is to make sure you have new batteries in your smoke detector and batteries in a carbon monoxide detector. Both these things are important during the cold season.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless odorless gas which occurs from fuel burning sources. Examples are your furnace, hot water heater, gas stoves, gas fireplaces, gas generators placed to close to doors, your car inside an attached garage all without proper ventalation.
Make sure to check all your outside vents to make sure birds or rodents didn't plug the exhaust pipes to these areas preventing the gases to be released.
If your carbon monoxide detector is going off, get everyone including pets out of the house, call 911. Do not re-enter the home until the all clear is give by professionals. Remember carbon monoxide detectors have a operation life of 5-7 years. If its older than that then its time to purchase a new one.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure are mild to severe. So do not take a chance with winter around the corner.

Those who burn wood for fuel in woodburners.... please make sure to check your flues to make sure that they are clean and clear. Burn only dried seasoned wood. Wood with moisture increases the chances of creosote to build up which can lead to chimney fires.
Let's everyone be safe this fall and winter season.
