Miami Fire Alarm Company
WINTER IS COMING!
Hurricane season might be behind us, but the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting “penetrating cold very wet” weather for the Sunshine State. While Floridians don’t need to worry about servicing snow blowers and stocking up shovels, we can prepare for winter in other practical ways. Knowing a reputable Miami fire alarm company
Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
Even when temperatures dip below sweltering, Dade County is fortunate to average about 600 hours of sunshine during winter months (so having a solid Miami fire alarm company in your backyard isn’t a bad idea!). So don’t slack on shielding your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Use sunscreen, moisturizer and lip protection year round. And always protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.
Eat and Drink Smart
Maintain your summer physique with well-balanced meals including lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay hydrated with water and avoid sugary soda and unhealthy diet drinks. Drink alcoholic and caffeinated beverages in moderation.
Dress for the Weather
As we approach cooler months, the temperature can change quickly. Dress in layers and bring a light jacket. While Miami is one of the sunniest cities in the US, it also gets its fair share of showers, so it’s always a good idea to have an umbrella on hand.
Generators
While portable generators are very helpful during a power outage, they can also be deadly if not used properly. Generators should never be used inside your home or in attached garages or porches as they emit lethal carbon monoxide gas. Always operate outside in well-ventilated areas away from your home. Install carbon monoxide detectors, or if you already have them, check the batteries and make sure they are in working order.
Space Heaters
If using a space heater to take to chill off your home or office, always keep it at least three feet from anything flammable such as curtains, bedding, etc. and never ever cover your space heater. Check cords for damage or fraying and avoid using extension cords.
Trim Trees and Seal Siding
Trim tree branches near your home to avoid damage to your windows and siding during storms. Also, the change of seasons is a good time to check exterior caulk to eliminate drafts around doors and windows. Whether you’re keeping heat out or in, silicone caulk will help keep your electric bill down.
