Seasonal Furnace Maintenance

Good idea...for those with a furnace...Actually very important, for both saving money and for safety, from fires and the dust.

Might be a good spot to tuck in this little tidbit of personal experience.

In the mobile that I put on the mountain, the butane hot water heater was in the middle bed room closet, many are in the larger mobile homes.

I came home from work and as I went down the hall, I smelled this awful smell. Coming from my grandaughters bedroom.

Of course I checked, she was asleep and had not noticed it.

With some checking, I found it was the hot water heater, an O ring had worn out and butane was entering the bedroom, straight from the tank.

Needless to say, when I replaced the hot water heater, it was in the greenhouse, outside of the trailer.

Whoa, our propane water heater is in an isolated closet but still inside our mobile. I'll talk to my husband about that. Thanks for the heads-up.
