Laura O'Brien, Corporate Communications Coordinator for Citizens Energy Group, shares tips for home heat safety.
1. Check the batteries in smoke alarms. Swap them out for fresh batteries.
2. Check your carbon monoxide detector and make sure it's working properly.
3. Make sure all space heaters have a 3 foot buffer. Avoid placing space heaters next to furniture, blankets, or other flammable items.
4. Do not heat your home with a natural gas oven. This can cause a carbon monoxide buildup, which can be dangerous, and even fatal.
5. If you suspect carbon monoxide or smell gas in your home, leave and get to safe space. Then call 911 or Citizens Energy.
What if you’re struggling to pay your bill?
"If anybody is struggling to pay their bill, I would really encourage them to give us a call”, O’Brien shared. “We can talk about things like payment arrangements, Citizens Warm Heart Warm Home Program, and the Energy Assistance Program."
