According to the American Red Cross, heating fires are the second-leading cause of home fires. This includes heating sources such as furnaces, portable heating units, space heaters, and wood stoves. Homes and families are in danger when smoke detectors, proper fire escape plans, and proper furnace maintenance schedules aren't in place. Don't take this important step for granted in maintaining your home's heating and cooling system. If you haven't conducted proper heating and air conditioning service on your home's unit in a while, contact a professional.
