Autumn Clean-Up Checklist

Outside the House:

• Ensure furnace vents are not blocked from the outside by any objects or any other obstructions; if so, CO¹(Carbon Monoxide: an invisible, odourless and poisonous gas produced by common household appliances) may be drawn back inside your house
• Store fuel(i.e. gasoline in approved containers, propane tanks) outside and keep them away from direct sunlight and other heat sources

Inside the House:

• Have the furnace, fireplace and chimney inspected
• Make sure warm-air outlets and cold-air returns are clear of carpets, furniture and debris
• When time to change your clocks, change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
