When outdoor temperatures drop, our homes become havens of warmth. Keep the following tips in mind to ensure your home stays safe and warm. 

• Use space heaters on flat, level surfaces, away from foot traffic, bedding, and curtains
• Do not leave space heaters unattended; turn them off every time you leave the room
• Never use an oven or stove to heat your home
• Never leave a fire in a fireplace burning unattended, and use a fire screen to keep embers inside the fireplace
• Plug space heaters directly into the wall, without the use of extension cords
• Do not use a space heater if its cord is frayed or damaged
• Keep an empty space of at least 3 feet around heating sources
• Have your heating system inspected annually
• Test smoke alarms periodically 
• Use carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to avoid the risk of CO poisoning
