Kansas Gas Service Shares Essential Tips to Prepare Homes for Winter

As temperatures drop and heating systems begin to
work overtime, Kansas Gas Service encourages customers to take proactive steps to keep families
safe, and homes heated efficiently throughout winter.
“Winter preparation is essential for both safety and comfort,” said Lisa Holleron, Vice President of
Operations at Kansas Gas Service. “Taking time now to winterize your home and maintain your
natural gas appliances can prioritize safety and potentially reduce energy costs all season long.”
Tips for a Safe and Warm Winter:
• Install and Test Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Place detectors on every level of
your home, especially near sleeping areas. Test monthly and replace batteries twice a
year.
• Schedule Appliance Inspections: Have a qualified technician inspect your natural
gas furnace, water heater and other gas appliances before the cold sets in.
• Seal and Insulate: Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal air leaks and add
insulation to attics and crawl spaces.
• Smart Thermostat Settings: Keep your home at 68–70°F during the day and lower
at night to save energy.
• Know the Signs of a Gas Leak: If you smell rotten eggs or hear a hissing sound,
leave immediately and call 911 and Kansas Gas Service at 888-482-4950.
