For your Safety (continued)

Frozen water pipe hazard

Your heating boiler is designed to provide

a warm and comfortable living

environment. It is NOT designed to ensure

against freezing of water pipes.

The boiler is equipped with several safety

devices that are designed to shut down

the boiler and to prevent it from restarting

in the event of various unsafe conditions.

If your boiler remains off for an extended

period of time during cold weather, water

pipes may freeze and burst, resulting in

extensive water damage and conditions in

which mold could grow. Certain molds are

known to cause respiratory problems, as

well as to pose other serious health risks.

In case of water damage, immediate

measures should be taken to dry out

affected areas as quickly as possible to

prevent mold from developing.

If your home will be unattended for an

extended period of time during cold

weather, you should...

H Shut off the water supply to the

building, drain the water pipes and add

an antifreeze fo r potable water to drain

traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets

where appropriate.

Or..

H Have someone check the building

frequently during cold weather and call a

qualified service agency if required.

Or...

H Install a reliable remote temperature

sensor that will notify somebody of

freezing conditions within the home.

long periods of time during freezing

weather conditions without turning off

pipes or otherwise protecting against

the risk of frozen pipes.
