The Gas Company Advises Customers to Inspect Furnaces Before First Cold Snap


ADVISORY, Oct. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --



 WHAT:    Furnace Safety Demonstration at a customer's home.  A Gas 
          Company energy technician will discuss and demonstrate 
          furnace safety tips, how to re-light furnace pilot lights 
          and other simple steps to follow to ensure the safe and 
          efficient operation of home heating appliances.   

 WHY:     Failure to perform annual maintenance on gas appliances may 
          result in exposure to carbon monoxide, which can cause 
          nausea, drowsiness, flu-like symptoms, and even death.

          Also, home heating accounts for more than half of a 
          homeowner's winter gas bill, so it is critical that furnaces 
          operate safely and efficiently.

          Homeowners are encouraged to call now if furnace servicing 
          is needed, before the busy season and the first cold snap 
          arrives.

 WHEN:    Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2006 --Availability from 9:30 a.m. to 11 
          a.m. 

 WHERE:   19244 Pebble Beach Place 
          Northridge

 VISUALS: A Gas Company employee in blue uniform will inspect the 
          burner flame, replace the furnace filter, check the venting 
          and offer conservation tips to help customers lower their 
          winter heating bills.
