Many homeowners in Northeast Ohio woke up this past Saturday to see everything coated in ice.  Winter has arrived here in Cleveland and along with the snow and frigid temperatures comes the ice.

If you find yourself without heat on a freezing winter day, it’s important to call a trusted HVAC company, such as Verne & Ellsworth Hann, immediately.  There are risks of going without heat in your home.  Here are a few:

• The pipes in your home can freeze causing them to burst.  This can be a very costly fix.
• Space heaters are not the best way to heat your home.  They can pose a fire hazard, shock, and burns.  They can be a short-term solution but should never be left unattended.
• Using your oven is never a good idea.  A gas oven can cause carbon monoxide poisoning which is deadly.  An electric oven was not designed for space heating.
• Trying to repair your heating system yourself can be dangerous.  Your furnace or boiler should only be serviced by a trained HVAC technician.

If your furnace or boiler stops working, call Verne & Ellsworth Hann.  Homeowners in Cleveland Heights and the surrounding area have trusted Verne & Ellsworth Hann with their heating, cooling and plumbing needs for over 63 years.  With 5 generations of Hann family experience, you can count on Verne & Ellsworth Hann to maintain, repair or replace your heating system.
