Your home heat is gone. You've just discovered your heating system may be off for several days. Your first concern should be to conserve body heat. Keep your household warm while you provide emergency heat. The simplest solution to this problem is to dress warm or perhaps get in bed.

Americans have frozen to death in their homes in recent times. Many have perished from burns, smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Loss of home heat constitutes an emergency, but it needn't result in tragedy. Selecting a room or area to be heated. Setting up, testing and operating an emergency system.
