#4 Ask The Experts With Donaldson Home Services | The Hidden Winter Hazard Most Homeowners Miss

Is your furnace truly ready for winter — or quietly creating risks most homeowners never notice?

In this must-watch episode, Jamie from Donaldson Home Services breaks down the hidden safety hazard most homeowners never think about: carbon monoxide created by every fuel-burning furnace — even ones that seem to be working perfectly.

From worn gas valve springs to improper combustion, expired CO detectors, and filters clogged from months of “life getting busy,” Jamie explains the small issues that can turn dangerous fast — and why proper furnace maintenance is one of the most important safety steps you can take each year.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why all gas, oil, and propane furnaces produce carbon monoxide — and how maintenance keeps it vented safely
• How aging internal components allow too much or too little fuel, raising costs or overheating equipment
• The most common oversights: dirty heat exchangers, restricted airflow, faulty safeties, and neglected filters
• The truth about carbon monoxide detectors — expiry dates, failure risks, and which type actually protects you
• Why you should check smoke and CO detectors before your home is fully closed up for the winter
• How busy households fall behind on maintenance (and why memberships like True Care solve that problem)
• What to do if you see rising CO readings and when to call a licensed technician

💬 Jamie also shares why safety is his top priority as a licensed gas technician — even when that means shutting equipment down to protect a family — and how his passion for helping homeowners drives programs like True Care.
