Furnace Safety
Have your furnace checked and cleaned regularly by a qualified repair person.
Be sure all furnace automatic controls and emergency shutoffs are in good condition.
Leave furnace work to the experts. Don't attempt repairs unless you are qualified.
Have the repair person check the wall and ceiling near the furnace and flue. If they are hot, additional insulation or clearance may be needed.
Check to ensure the flue pipes are well supported, free of holes and clean.
Make sure the chimney is solid with no cracks or loose bricks. All unused flue openings should be sealed with solid masonry.
Keep trash and combustible storage away from the heating system.
