One of the most likely times for housefires to start? Once it starts getting cold. β
Seems contradictory, right? Why would fires start when it gets colder?
Well, once the furnace gets turned back on, it can start problems.
Here's what you can do to prevent that:
π Have your furnace serviced. It's always a good idea to get it checked at least once during the colder months to make sure all components are working correctly.
π Change your filter regularly. Your filter can collect gunk overtime and lead to a higher chance of starting a fire. Change it at least once per month.
And if the worst does happen, make sure you have a plan in place: document everything, and make sure you know who to call.
