Put Safety First When Heating Your Home When the weather is cold outside, it's only natural to want to warm up inside without spending much money. It's never safe to light an unventilated fire or burn charcoal indoors. Burning wood or charcoal releases carbon monoxide that can't be seen or smelled and can kill in minutes. The use of unventilated appliances such as kerosene and propane heaters, stoves, ovens, or dryers to heat your home is also unsafe. Always remember: although using a fireplace or wood-burning stove may be safer, it's important to make sure they are clean and in proper working order. PWC reminds customers that there are ways to stay warmer at little or no cost, including: Keeping window coverings open on sunny days Weather-stripping and caulking around doors and windows Wearing heavier clothing to retain your body's heat Space heaters are a great way to stay warm - just remember to keep them at least 3 feet away from combustible materials JANUARY 22-28,12014 UCW 17
