It seems unlikely during the scorching hot summers, but make no mistake: you NEED heating in
El Paso. The average temperature in El Paso in the winter ranges from 33-57 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s even colder in January. There are several options for heating your home, including central heating and space heaters.
Space heaters may seem convenient, but they are also potentially dangerous, causing 25,000
home fires a year and 6,000 emergency room visits. In fact, a third of all house fires happen
between December and February, and several cities have banned many portable space heaters. We encourage you to look into installing central heating or fixing your existing system. If you can’t afford to install central heating in El Paso, ensure you take the following precautions.
∙ Before you turn on a space heater, check that your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning.
∙ Clean the heater and check for loose or frayed wires.
∙ Put the heater on a hard, level surface, not on carpet and never on a chair.
∙ Don’t put the heater anywhere near clothing or use it to dry clothing. Also, keep it at least three feet away from furniture and any combustible items.
∙ If your space heater is old, replace it. Oftentimes, newer models have updated safety features.
As temperatures continue to drop in El Paso, the importance of keeping your family warm will
continue to rise. The price of central heating may not be out of your reach and is most likely less
than you think. Call Mechanical Technologies at (915) 544-1550 for a consultation. We
offer an on-time guarantee and promise to give advanced notice if anything changes. Instead of
waiting in a blisteringly hot or freezing cold environment for hours or even days, call Mechanical
Technologies today!
