When working on a gas-powered furnace or boiler, it's important to take the following safety precautions:
Shut off the gas supply before performing any maintenance or repairs.
Ensure proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
Avoid touching any hot components that could cause burns.
Never attempt to service the pilot light or gas valves - this should only be done by a licensed HVAC technician.
Have a working carbon monoxide detector installed near the heating system.
Consult the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines.
Proper safety is essential when maintaining gas-powered heating equipment to prevent accidents or dangerous gas leaks. It's best to leave major repairs and tune-ups to qualified HVAC professionals.
