We Survived the "Artic Vortex"! Did Your Heater?


So, we are finally thawing from record breaking low temperatures!  Hopefully your heating system kept you warm.  As we heard from Duke Energy, utility usage was at an all time high with everyone trying to stay warm.  So what does that mean for your heating system?  Run time, and LOTS of it. 

For those two days of extremely cold temperatures, and never getting above freezing, your heating system was working overtime!  If you haven't had your system checked yet this year, it is definitely a good time to do so.  Heating systems were put under a lot of strain, and could possibly breakdown or worse yet, you could have a Carbon Monoxide leak!  Remember, carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless. The only way to detect this deadly gas is with a carbon monoxide detector.  Make sure the batteries in the carbon monoxide detectors are still good, and run the test mode to make sure it is functioning.  Also, check the shelf life of the detector.  This should be located on the back or inside cover.  Carbon Monoxide detectors do not last forever, so make sure yours is still good.  

If you and others in your family start experiencing headaches and flu-like symptoms, please have it checked! We are still running our $69 Tune Up and Safety Check.  This will give you a comprehensive check of the heating system's performance.
