Staying warm this winter doesn't have to be hard, but doing it safely is important.

Happy New Year!

We are so excited to see what 2021 has in store! That being said, what kind of resolutions do you have? We’d love to hear them! 

For this platform, our resolution is to provide more information to our audience so they can prevent water losses, fire losses, sewage losses, and so many more. Our goal as a Franchise is to SERV our community as best we can. On that note, here are a few tips to beat the cold and prevent a fire in your home.

1. Never use a stove to heat your home.
2. Make sure your space heater has an automatic shut-off.
3. Use a metal or tempered glass screen when using your fireplace. 

While these tips may seem simple, they’re pivotal to protecting your home from heating fires. Additionally, we recommend you change your return filter on a more regular basis during the winter and check your fire alarm on a regular basis. Winter time is the prime time of year house fires occur. Check back into our blog throughout the year to learn more tips and tricks!
