As autumn arrives and nighttime temperatures drop, it's all the more important to check on the condition of basement furnaces. But some Minnesotans in need must chose between paying medical bills and having a warm home.
Volunteers from Pipefitters Local 455, Pipefitters Local 539, and the Minnesota Mechanical Contractors Association host "Heat's On," an annual outreach event providing furnace inspections to low-income seniors and disabled home owners to combat home heating hazards like ventilation and carbon monoxide poisoning.
