In response to alarming statistics showing a 23% increase in heating-related home safety incidents across Alberta last winter, Purcell Heating and Air today announced the launch of its community education initiative, “Safe Home Calgary.” This comprehensive program aims to equip Calgary residents with all the need-to-know furnace safety knowledge to protect their homes and families during the critical winter months.
The “Safe Home Calgary” initiative includes free educational workshops, digital resources, and community partnerships designed to address the most common heating safety issues faced by local homeowners. The program focuses specifically on furnace maintenance best practices, carbon monoxide awareness, and early warning signs of potential heating system failures.
“Our data analysis reveals that more than 70% of winter heating emergencies show warning signs that homeowners could identify with proper education,” Safety Director at Purcell Heating and Air. “Our goal is to empower Calgary residents with practical knowledge that can prevent dangerous situations before they develop.”
The initiative features several key components:
- Free monthly workshops held at community centers throughout Calgary
- Comprehensive digital safety guide available for download from the company website
- Partnership with the Calgary Fire Department on carbon monoxide awareness
- Senior-focused safety presentations at retirement communities
- School education program teaching students about home heating safety
“Streamline processes, integrate safety protocols, optimize system performance, and enhance home protection through proper maintenance and awareness,” “Many homeowners don’t realize that a properly maintained furnace is not just about comfort and efficiency—it’s about keeping their family safe through our extreme winter conditions.”
As part of the initiative, Purcell Heating and Air will offer 100 complimentary carbon monoxide detector checks for low-income families and seniors throughout Calgary, ensuring these vulnerable populations are protected during the heating season.
The first “Safe Home Calgary” workshop will be held on November 25, 2025, at Calgary, focusing on “Essential Furnace Maintenance for Winter Safety.” Registration is available through the company website or by calling (403) 312-9099.
“Assess your home’s safety strategy and identify high-value safety initiatives before temperatures plummet,”. “Our community education initiative provides the knowledge and tools Calgary residents need to protect what matters most.”
