Comfort Technology

🏡 A little caution goes a long way. Follow Richard Trethewey's guide to staying safe with natural gas and preventing accidents.

🚨 Anyone in SE New England with these crazy amounts of snow… make sure you clear snow from where your furnace vents! CO is a killer.

Don't take any chances! Do not ignore carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Change the batteries every fall. If the CO alarm goes off, leave the house immediately and call the fire department!

Got this text from a customer just this morning:

Hi Barry. Just want to thank you so much for all your help and checking in last night. Not sure if we knew the solution when u were on phone w Anthony but Fire Dept came and the issue was the generator exhaust was covered w snow so it was blowing carbon monoxide inside. So scary but we shoveled it all out. That was a learning lesson in safety. They said it’s been going on everywhere in town w the generators. Thank God for detectors.
Just want to thank you and your guy for coming right back to check things out!! You guys are the best!!! We really appreciate you!!!
Stay safe!!

Don't let your outside generator get covered with snow. It could kill you and your family.

I got this message from a customer just yesterday:

Do not ignore your carbon monoxide detector. If your detector goes off, leave the house and call the fire department. Generators must be clear of snow to prevent carbon monoxide gasses from entering your house.

Seriously for your family's sake go check this right now.

Safety comes first !!!
Please make sure you shovel your flue vents that exit the side of your house if you have a high efficiency furnace or boiler. This is required for safety and efficient operation.
Check your neighbors as well!

Also please shovel around your outdoor heat pump condenser. Otherwise, they will shut down and/or operate very inefficiently.

Lots of snow and snow drifts equal lots of problems for heat pumps.

Merry Christmas everyone!
