5 Steps to Protect Your Heat Before the Snow Hits

Quick actions you can take right now to avoid heating problems during the storm

1

Thermostat - Set to 70 degrees

Don't use 'Auto' mode during extreme cold - keep it on 'Heat' at a steady temperature.

2

Filter - Check and change today

Dirty filters kill furnaces. A clean filter is your best protection during heavy use.

3

Exhaust Vents - Clear snow from outdoor vents

Blocked vents can cause your system to shut down or create dangerous conditions.

4

Vents - Keep all room vents open

Open vents help airflow and reduce strain on your heating system.
