How To Respond To A Power Outage Or No Heat Emergency

Written on: March 1, 2021

We’ve all got a lot on our mind these days, with the pandemic adding even more complications to our already busy lives.

The crazier things get, the easier it is to let some important task slip through the cracks – a task like checking the fuel gauge on your home or commercial heating system, for example.

Add weather extremes and power outages to our current challenges and you can see why there is a greater need than ever for emergency preparedness.

Where Turn When You Have No Heat

What To Do In An Emergency

If you do run out of fuel or lose power:

• Don’t panic!
• If you’ve lost power, heat, or both, take immediate steps to retain whatever heat you have in your house: close curtains, block under-door drafts, hang blankets over doorways, etc. If you have other ways to heat your space, such as fireplace, propane space heater, or electric heater, use them. NEVER use outdoor equipment (barbecues, outdoor stoves, etc.) indoors – carbon monoxide build-up can be extremely dangerous or even deadly.
• Call our 24-hour disaster-response hotline at 781.246.1130.
