ADVISORY, Oct. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --
WHAT: Furnace Safety Demonstration at a customer's home. A Gas
Company energy technician will discuss and demonstrate

and other simple steps to follow to ensure the safe and
efficient operation of home heating appliances.
WHY: Failure to perform annual maintenance on gas appliances may
result in exposure to carbon monoxide, which can cause
nausea, drowsiness, flu-like symptoms, and even death.

operate safely and efficiently.
Homeowners are encouraged to call now if furnace servicing
is needed, before the busy season and the first cold snap
arrives.
