Prepping for Home Holiday Issues

Posted on November 16th, 2021 by Devine Bros

We’ve got so many holidays coming up soon, with prep time being now! By prep time, we mean this is your window of opportunity to ensure that everything is working in your home as it should be, such as your heating or propane appliances. If not checked on now, it could lead to a disaster when the holidays actually come. So, here are a few tips for preparing your home for any potential holiday issues. 

Avoid Heater Issues

Now is the time to get a heater tune-up so that you and your family aren’t left in the cold this season. Especially if you plan to host the holidays at your home, you’ll want your guests to be nice and warm — not freezing the whole time! Be sure to schedule a maintenance check now to ease your stress of any potential problems later. 

Lessen The Potential For Fire Hazards

Studies show that the holiday season is one of the most common periods for home fires. This is due to all the electrical decorations, cooking, and fireplace usage we see during this time. Make sure all your appliances and decorations are plugged into secure extension cords or outlets. And before you get your fireplace going for the first time this year, give it a good clean, update your chimney cap, and keep all the essential tools nearby. 

Don’t Run Out of Fuel For Cooking

If you need propane to cook in your kitchen, now is the time to double-check that you have enough for all your holiday cooking needs! You don’t want to run out of fuel in the middle of cooking your turkey and gravy. Luckily, Devine Bros. offers a delivering propane system on a “call-in” or “automatic delivery” basis.
