The Red Cross urges Americans to put safety first this winter, as heating sources are the leading cause of winter home fires. Space heaters, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and coal stoves can pose a fire hazard if placed too close to bedding and furniture or if left unattended. At the last calculation in 2008, heating equipment caused 66,100 home fires, 480 deaths, 1,660 injuries and over $1 billion in property damage. It’s important that heaters are turned off when you are sleeping or when you leave the room. All fireplaces, chimneys, wood and coal stoves should be inspected by professionals each year. Space heaters should be put on nonflammable surfaces (like tiles), rather than on carpeting. They should also never be plugged into an extension cord. Here at Mr. Central, we recommend tuning your central Augusta GA heating to work efficiently, rather than relying on unsafe devices to heat your home this winter.

Reasons to Consider Augusta GA Heating Tune-Up:

When you flip the switch to turn your Augusta GA heating on this winter, keep in mind that HVAC systems have a tendency to collect all sorts of contaminants, including mold, fungi, bacteria, dust particles and debris. Whatever does not combust will be pumped back into your home unless your system is cleaned each season. Indoor air quality aside, you will also save a good amount of money on your energy bills.  Heating and cooling accounts for half the total energy use of your home, but a clean HVAC system can save you at least 30 percent in energy costs. Also, the EPA estimates that efficient systems have much longer life spans compared to dirty systems, which are prone to break down when you need them the most.

When an Augusta GA heating professional comes to your home, he will clean the:

• Air filter
