These heating safety tips are so important, especially during the colder months when heating systems are working overtime. One thing I’ve noticed is how heating can sometimes impact indoor air quality, especially in older systems. That’s why I’ve been thinking about adding an air purifier for your home. It helps eliminate dust, allergens, and other particles that can build up when heaters are constantly running. Pairing a safe heating setup with clean, purified air seems like the best way to stay comfortable and healthy all winter long. It’s a simple addition that makes a noticeable difference in overall home comfort!
