Toronto, Canada – July 28th, 2014 /PressCable/ — Toronto,
Laird and Son Heating and
Air-Conditioning, a respected Toronto furnace repair company, advises homeowners to keep calm amid heating system
breakdowns during winter season. Instead of creating hazardous DIY
heating setups and make-shift fixes, homeowners are instead advised
to immediately contact a qualified and certified HVAC company like
them to discuss options and ensure that repair jobs go smoothly and
are done properly.To
give clear examples of how potentially dangerous some self-medicated
furnace repairs are, Laird and Son shares three of the most bizarre
heating alternatives their technicians have seen while on the job: The
Frat House: During a general inspection job for the furnace unit at
a fraternity house, a property owner and an HVAC technician were
surprised to see a curious heating setup students obviously rigged.
Fraternity members, it seems, used an exhaust tubing bought from a
local hardware store as some form of substitute pipe to bring heat
into the room. While creative, this setup is a clear fire hazard and
outright dangerous. The property owner made the right decision to
remove the make-shift device, had a long discussion with the
inventive students, and hadthe technician do his job. The
Plastic House: Another
ridiculous case Laird and Son HVAC technicians found is a call to
see a vintage furnace unit that stopped working. Besides the
outdated heating system, the technicians noted serious economic and
environmental issue were present as the homeowner used plastic bags
as wallpaper and insulator. These resulted in a heated home, yes,
but also led to a lack of proper ventilation and poor air quality. Power
bars and heated blankets: Last on the list of bizarre heating
alternatives is one Toronto home that made use of heating blankets
as an alternative to furnaces or proper household heating systems.
While presenting itself as a cheap way to heat any home up, risks of
catching fire are high as people living in the property leave the
blankets unattended or even fall asleep without unplugging them. A
total of 15 heated blankets and Mylar heat retention brands were
placed throughout the place like on couches, chairs, and beds.Visiting
