The absolute best way to ensure reliable, safe Chicago heating is to have a
quality heating system installed in your home by professionals and then to
regularly have that heating system serviced and repaired as needed. All other
methods of heating your home are either unreliable or unsafe, plain and simple.
Some people, for example, use their ovens as their Chicago heating devices. For obvious
reasons, this can be incredibly dangerous. Running your oven at all times can
be a serious fire hazard, especially if you have to leave it unattended.
Furthermore, many ovens, especially gas ovens, can release hazardous fumes into
the air and, for that reason, should not be run for long periods of time.
Space heaters are also a big no-no. While they might provide
some temporary relief from the cold, they are a major hazard. If they get
covered by a blanket or come in contact with some flammable material, for
example, it’s all too easy for a fire to break out.
