Prayers to those that were affected by this carbon monoxide poisoning. This is a reason why you should have your heater inspected once a year to make sure any carbon monoxide doesn’t leak out of the heater. We don’t have any details from what caused this but heaters and chimney issues are the main causes of CO poisoning in homes and buildings. Call us at 215-956-9400 to schedule your heater inspection.

Update: we found out they ran a generator in the basement when the power ran out. Please don’t run generators in your home or garages.

Four people were rushed to the hospital Thursday night after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning at a home in Bucks County. Several pets were also affected by the incident. Read more ⬇️

🚨 **Safety Reminder from J.A. Smith Heating & Air Conditioning!**

Don't forget to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!

🔋 **Check Your Batteries:** Replace batteries as recommended by the manufacturer and test your alarms regularly.

🔥 **Smoke Detectors:** Most should be replaced every 10 years.

⚠️ **Carbon Monoxide Detectors:** Typically need replacement every 5–10 years, depending on the model. CO sensors have a limited lifespan and become less reliable as they age.

🔋 **Also, many newer detectors have sealed 10-year batteries that cannot be replaced.** These units should be replaced when they reach their expiration date or signal that they've reached the end of their useful life.

🏠 **Don't wait until it's too late!** Check the manufacture date on your detectors and replace them when they reach the end of their rated lifespan.

**Remember, carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible. Working detectors are especially important during heating season!**

**Protect your home and family. A few minutes of prevention could save a life!**

🔥 Could switching fuel sources lower your heating bills?

If you heat with oil or propane, switching to a heat pump or natural gas could mean substantial savings! 🏠💰

In the sample home comparison shown, estimated annual heating costs were:

🛢️ Oil furnace: $5,610
🔥 Propane furnace: $4,425
⚡ Air-source heat pump: $3,129
🔵 Natural gas furnace: $2,424
🌎 Geothermal heat pump: $2,575

That’s a potential heating savings of approximately $2,480 per year switching from oil to an air-source heat pump, or $3,185 switching from oil to natural gas!

The best choice depends on your home, utility rates, equipment efficiency, and natural gas availability. At J.A. Smith Heating & Air Conditioning Inc., we can compare your options so you can make an informed decision.

🔨 WHAT’S BEHIND YOUR WALLS MATTERS! 🏠

At J.A. Smith Heating & Air Conditioning, we believe quality HVAC installations start with the details you don’t see!

💨 Ductwork should move air where it’s supposed to go — not leak it into walls, ceilings, or unconditioned spaces!

That’s why we take the extra time to seal our ductwork connections and seams using approved HVAC tape or mastic to minimize air leakage and improve system performance.

✅ Properly sealed ductwork helps prevent conditioned air from escaping.

✅ Better airflow and efficiency means more of the heating and cooling you’re paying for reaches the intended rooms.

✅ Dedicated metal return-air ductwork — no more relying on panned joist spaces, wall stud cavities, or soffits as return-air pathways.

✅ Better indoor air quality — properly sealed returns help reduce the chance of pulling dust, insulation fibers, and unwanted air from building cavities.

🏗️ This is our standard for new construction!

Just because ductwork will eventually be hidden behind drywall doesn’t mean the workmanship should be overlooked.

The quality of your comfort starts long before the drywall goes up.
