When fuel is burned, an odorless gas known as carbon monoxide is released. If the ventilation system or any parts of your furnace malfunctions, this gas can build up in your home, leading to health hazards. Furnaces are also a common source for home fires each winter. The best way to stay safe in such situations is to detect fires early. Make sure that you have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors installed at every level of your house.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Safety_Tip_2_Keep_the_Area_Around_the_Furnace_Clear\"><\/span>Furnace Safety Tip #2: Keep the Area Around the Furnace Clear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Prevention is always better than cure. To reduce the risk of any home fires, it is a good idea to keep the area around the furnace cabinet clear. Many users end up keeping spare furnace filters and other items like paints and thinners near the furnace. This can be a very bad idea since filters can catch fire quite easily. Make sure that nothing is kept within 3 feet of the furnace. It would also be a good idea to have your furnace inspected before the start of every winter, to keep it in optimal running condition.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Safety_Tip_3_Replace_Furnace_Filters_Regularly\"><\/span>Furnace Safety Tip #3: Replace Furnace Filters Regularly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/furnace-safety-tips-for-winter-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Furnace Safety Tips\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/furnace-safety-tips-for-winter-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/furnace-safety-tips-for-winter-2.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another good way to prevent any fire hazards with furnaces is by changing their filters regularly. The job of the filter is to protect the inside cabinet from the particulate matter coming from the return air ducts. If they are already clogged, your furnace will not be able to function as efficiently, and it can also cause it to overheat. We, at Galmiche &amp; Sons, recommend that you change your filter every 3 months in most cases, but sometimes sooner.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Safety_Tip_4_Look_Out_for_Any_Strange_Noises_Coming_from_the_Unit\"><\/span>Furnace Safety Tip #4: Look Out for Any Strange Noises Coming from the Unit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Never ignore if your furnace starts making strange noises. Even if it is functioning well and heating up your home, strange noises can indicate that there is something wrong with the unit. If you hear a scraping sound, it could be the blower wheel that is broken. This scraping can create sparks, which can lead to a fire. If you hear a loud bang, it could indicate that the heat exchanger is broken. As soon as you hear any of these sounds, call in a professional from Galmiche &amp; Sons immediately.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Safety_Tip_5_Strange_Smells_Could_Lead_to_Hazards\"><\/span>Furnace Safety Tip #5: Strange Smells Could Lead to Hazards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Besides the strange noises, you should also look out for any strange smells coming out of the unit. A dusty smell, when you start your unit for the first time (after a long time), is common. But if you smell something like rotten eggs, you should call in a professional immediately, as this could indicate a gas leak.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_Furnace_Maintenance_and_Safety_with_Galmiche_Sons\"><\/span>Ensure Furnace Maintenance and Safety with Galmiche &amp; Sons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the above-mentioned tips, you can ensure furnace safety in your home and protect your family from any mishaps.
