There’s nothing cozier than spending time with a fireplace to keep you warm as the weather turns colder

There’s nothing cozier than spending time with a fireplace to keep you warm as the weather turns colder. It is important to know some of the safety hazards: 

Have Your Furnace Serviced: Have your furnace inspected by your heating and cooling company regularly, but especially during a new season. Have them check for leaks and ensure it is working properly. 

Be Careful Using Your Fireplace: Make sure your fireplace has a screen; screens are crucial so that it keeps flying sparks safely inside the fireplace. 

Use Caution with Space Heaters: Space heaters are a great way to chill out. Just make sure that you allow at least three feet of empty space around the heater to prevent fires. 

Leaf Burning Could Be Dangerous: Burning leaves can be dangerous, make sure to wear a protective mask if you decide to do so. Never burn leaves on a windy day.

Exercise Candle Safety: Candles give a wonderful ambiance to a room but can also pose a fire hazard; never leave candles unattended.
