SIOUX CITY , Iowa ( KCAU ) — With Siouxland temperatures known to be extremely cold, keep a few things in mind.
Clean your furnace filters and remove items from around it to ensure it operates safely.
Clean any vents and make sure they are clear of any debris.
Anyone with gas appliances is reminded to check their carbon monoxide detectors.
Other tips include sealing your home to keep that heat in.
"It's also the time of the year where we close our homes up, and so the home can become dry," said President of Kalins Indoor Comfort Bruce Kalin. "There are products today, humidifiers, and then there's indoor air quality products for those folks that are sensitive to dust or allergies. It's also a good time of the year, if you have windows or doors that may be a little leaky, to do some caulking and try to prevent some of that infiltration, that cold air from coming in."
