It’s dark 和 cold outside, but home is w在这里 you can find light 和 warmth. No matter what the day held – deadlines, 购物, shoveling the snow – 在这里, the holiday spirit lives.
Whether you’re curling up at the end of the day to read a good book, finish a puzzle, or watch a holiday movie (we recommend the one with the account executive who returns to her home town 和 discovers true love), 在这里 are some tips to get your gas 壁炉 warmed up for the season.
- 读点书 – We know reading a manual doesn’t sound like fun, but this is 2020 – what else do you have on your calendar? Each gas 壁炉, stove or insert is unique, 和 knowing your specific unit’s operating information will help you keep it running safely 和 efficiently.
- Change the batteries – Install fresh batteries in your gas 壁炉 receiver to make sure it’s ready as a backup in case you lose power. Now is also a good time to replace your carbon monoxide 和 smoke detector batteries. If your unit has a remote control, you may as well do that while you’re at it too. You’ll thank us when you don’t have to pause the movie to do it later (because who knows if the big city gal will be able to adapt to small town life 和 save Christmas!).
- Review your safety tips – Always call your gas company if you smell gas. It’s also a good idea to bring in a professional if you notice that the flames are any color other than yellow or orange, or if you notice a lot of soot collecting on the 壁炉 components. And when you put up the Christmas tree, make sure to keep it at least 3 feet away from the 壁炉.
- Get an annual inspection 和 cleaning – Our licensed 服务守护 technicians can identify issues like venting cracks or obstructions, corrosion 和 firebox damage. They can also check 和 clean the components, so you can get back to snuggling on the couch (make sure you have some tissues because * spoiler alert * she does save Christmas, but not before falling in love with – you guessed it – a local baker).
However you celebrate the holidays this year, know that we’re 在这里, ready to protect the appliances you depend on most with 服务守护, so you can embrace the comfort 和 joy of the season.
