Tis the season!  The holidays are here and it’s time to start planning, shopping and decorating.  If they haven’t already, homeowners will soon adorn their homes with Christmas trees.  If you’ll be getting a real tree for your home, it’s important to place your tree in a safe location.

Placing your Christmas tree near a heat source can make it dry out faster causing it to die quicker; but there are some real risks in the placement of your tree.  Never place your tree near a radiator, heat vent, baseboard heating, fireplace or space heater.  Always make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from any type of heat source.  It is best to keep it in a cool place, preferably near a window.  It is also important to add water to the tree stand daily.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  Make sure to keep you and your family safe this holiday season by taking simple steps in the placement of your Christmas tree.

Be sure to schedule your heating tune-up/safety inspection with Verne & Ellsworth Hann.  Let our expert technicians make sure your furnace or boiler is running safely and efficiently.  Enjoy the holidays and let Verne & Ellsworth Hann take care of all your heating needs!

Today, the day after Thanksgiving, is Black Friday.  It’s considered the start of holiday shopping where retailers slash prices and offer deals on popular items.  Stores open in the early morning hours, or even the night before, to extend early bird specials.  Thousands of shoppers wait in lines, that sometimes wrap around stores, just to get the best deals or those hard to find gifts.  Many shoppers even map out their day.  They plan which stores they will visit and in which order.  Some even coordinate with friends and family to make sure they don’t miss a deal!

The origin of Black Friday started from the amount of sales that retailers report which often bring their profits into the black.  Black is an accounting term used to describe a business making a profit as opposed to being in the red which means losses.

Winter is upon us here in Northeast Ohio.  We have had our first snowfall and the temperatures are dropping.  Homeowners in Cleveland and the surrounding area have turned on their heating systems.  While many are enjoying the warm air it provides, others have found that their furnace is blowing cold air.  Here are 3 reasons why your furnace may be blowing cold air:

• The thermostat may be on the wrong setting.  Make sure your thermostat is set to “auto” and that the fan is not set to “on.”
• The pilot light may be out.  The pilot may be dirty, you may have a faulty gas valve, or you may need a new thermocouple.
• Your filter may be dirty.  A dirty filter can obstruct air flow.  Make sure your furnace filter is changed regularly.

The best thing you can do if you find your furnace blowing cold air, is to call Verne & Ellsworth Hann.  Our expert technicians will diagnose the problem and make the proper repairs or recommend replacement.  It’s important for your safety, and the safety of your family, to let a trained HVAC technician take care of your heating system.
