When the Power Goes Out in Your Centreville, MI Home
2/7/2020 (Permalink)
If a winter storm knocks out the power in your home, having an alternative heat source can be essential. If not used properly, alternative heat sources can result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless,making it hard to detect. Installing a carbon monoxide detector can also help keep you and your family safe. It is recommended to test the battery once a month.
When using alternative heat sources, keep them at least 20ft from doors, windows, and vents. Never use generators, grills, or other devices indoors or near an enclosed living space, as these can be fire hazards. Be sure to have smoke detectors in every bedroom and common room in your home. It’s also recommended that these batteries be tested monthly.
