Odds and Ends
Safety -
Keep Area By Furnace Clear
Floor furnaces ignite house fires in
Monterey at least three to four times a year.
In most cases, residents had no idea that the furnace even worked.
Here are some tips to make sure your floor furnace is not a disaster
waiting to happen:
1. Make sure that furnace controls are operating properly. Does the
thermostat start and stop the furnace at the
set values?
2. Do not use the space around a furnace for storing ANY combustible
materials.
3. Do not place a throw rug, or any other materials/ objects on top
of, or near, a floor furnace outlet.
4. Have your gas-burning furnace inspected once a year to ensure safe
and proper operation, even if you don’t plan to use it. Cut off the
gas to the system if you don’t plan to use it.
If you have questions about your furnace, consult a professional,
either your local gas provider, such as PG&E (Pacific, Gas &
Electric), or the Monterey Fire Department at 646.3900.
