AAA Service helps homeowners avoid holiday disasters

DENVER, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- AAA Service, a leading provider of plumbing, heating and electrical service to the Denver area, is offering several tips to help area homeowners have a safe and comfortable holiday season.

"Holidays can be chaotic between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so preparing your house may be one of the last things on your mind," said Mike Callella, operations manager of AAA Service. "But, making sure your home's plumbing and HVAC systems are maintained can be the difference between a happy holiday season and an expensive one."

With the added stress that comes with the holidays, AAA Service offers up these tips to make sure homes survive the holidays:

    --  Don't overload electrical outlets: This is one of the most common things
        that occurs during the holidays. Be sure to not overload outlets. This
        is one of the main causes of fires during the holidays. Only one high
        wattage appliance should be plugged into each outlet. It may also be
        advantageous to use extension cords or power strips with circuit
        breakers installed.
    --  Dust regularly: Indoor air quality (IAQ) has been a topic for discussion
        since the COVID-19 outbreak. One way to improve IAQ in a home is to dust
        regularly. Dusting can also improve the efficiency of a heating and
        cooling system. Fewer dust particles will travel through a home's
        ductwork and spread throughout the house.
    --  Keep heating sources free from objects: Make sure all combustibles are
        at least 3 feet from heat sources, especially fireplaces. These items
        include gifts with wrapping paper, a Christmas tree, curtains and
        anything else that can easily catch fire.
    --  Be mindful of what is flushed down the drain: Fats and cooking oils
        solidify in pipes and choke drains. Paper towels and sanitary wipes will
        not dissolve like toilet paper and can create clogs even when wet. Kitty
        litter should also be avoided because its clay-like nature can create
        major plumbing issues.
    --  Make sure the water heater runs properly: To keep a water heater running
        properly, flush out the system at least once a year. Sediment that
        builds up on the bottom of the tank can reduce the amount of water the
        tank can hold, reducing the efficiency of the unit. Also, check the
        water temperature on your unit. It should read between 115-120 degrees
        Fahrenheit. Exceeding 125 degrees may create a scalding hazard.

"No one wants a costly repair in the middle of the holiday season," said Callella. "Preventative measures will ensure you and your family can make enjoyable memories while also keeping your home safe and comfortable."
