Remember to change smoke and CO detector batteries and test your units for proper operation.
DO NOT use generators indoors, even in a garage. Carbon Monoxide (CO) and other dangerous fumes will build up and put your life at risk. See our important information page for more details.
NOW is the perfect time to make sure to have your chimney properly cleaned and inspected by a professional. Chimney fires are extremely dangerous, but they are easily prevented.
Have an emergency plan for your home. Practice this plan with all family members.
