3.  Annual Maintenance & Safety Tips 

It's time for annual furnace tune-ups.  At the same time, consider installing natural gas alarms or  propane gas alarms. Also, it's a good idea to test and replace batteries in carbon monoxide alarms, thermostats and smoke alarms.  Check radon gas levels: you may need additional fresh air intake if your house is too tight. Many snowbirds escape to the South; home temperature monitoring avoids burst pipes.

4. Keeping the Chill Off Inside Without Risking Fire or Explosion

The National Fire Protection Council reminds that heating equipment causes most home fires in December, January and February.  Death rates from portable heaters are higher than from fireplaces or furnaces.

Stay warm safely and economically.  Inspect or hire inspections of furnaces, fireplaces and gas, wood or coal fired heating stoves. Insulate, seal and caulk.  Check and use for rebates or energy tax credits for insulation or furnace replacements.

We suggest:

• Heat where you need it: Use UL listed electric space heaters, preferably those with a low wattage draw. Cozy Legs Panels, Cozy Footwarmers and Toasty Toes Foot Rests help keep you warm without blown circuit breakers or risk of fire. 

• Insulate electrical outlets: Install CareCovers, insulated sliding door outlet covers, on electrical outlets on outer walls, blocking cold air entering through unused outlets.

• Protect against gas poisoning or death: Install at least two 120V AC carbon monoxide or 9 volt battery operated carbon monoxide alarms in every home that uses oil, gas, wood or coal to heat or cook.  Install  natural gas alarms or propane gas alarms near every gas appliance such as fireplaces, ranges, heaters and furnaces. Carbon monoxide, propane fumes and natural gas fumes poison and kill. Natural and propane gases can explode or cause fires if fumes build up .

5.  Mouse and Rat Proofing Effectively and Humanely

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says seal up, trap up and clean up for rodent free homes and buildings.

Keeping rodents out is easier with some of our products:

• Install ultrasonic rodent repellers in garages, kitchens, basements, utility rooms , etc.
• Lentek mouse repellers with nightlights and smaller ultrasonic mouse repellers without nightlights are economical for smaller single room protection.
• Sonic Technologies mini pest repellers are economical and effective. Victor dual speaker rodent repellers are corded units you can put in kitchen cupboards, kitchen drawers, closets, etc.
• For commercial or home applications, the Victor commercial rodent repellers are the most powerful rat and mice repellers we sell.
• Install an Evictor strobe light in attic or crawl space to keep out roof rats, squirrels and more.
• Avoid Poisons, by using pet friendly traps.  Add a Victor electronic mouse or electronic rat trap where rodent droppings are seen. Units run on batteries for placement where you need them.
• If rodents die in your walls, the stench lasts about a month. The SurroundAir with HEPA and UV, the basic SurroundAir ionizer and the Ionizair help neutralize the odor in that room.

Garaged vehicles take 15 to 20 minutes to get warm, and pre-warming a car is costly with high gas prices.
