Home Care Path Heat Source Guideline Life Threatening Cold

Wisconsin temperatures can drop significantly in winter months creating a dependency on adequate heat to maintain life.  This is a brief guideline designed to give some structure to helping when a home has an inoperable heat source- furnace and the temperatures are low- freezing.

Adjust thermostat listening for the furnace to activate and the vents to blow warm air.  With a decreasing temperature and a furnace that will not activate assist the senior to contact their chosen heating- air conditioning service. Ask for an estimated time of arrival - be sure they have your phone number.

Gather blankets, position yourselves near a potential heat source - electric space heater to wait for service provider.  Contact family and friends to identify a place for the elder to temporarily stay if needed.  You want to be present when the service provider arrives. Keep door closed avoid unnecessary trips.

If despite multiple attempts the service provider cannot get the heat source, furnace to activate and operate - ask them if they have any milk house non-decorative style space heaters in the truck.  Be aware of electrical circuit capacity so as not to trigger breaker.  Follow instructions for placement of space heaters to insure proper utilization.  Slow drip  flow in each fawcett to keep water from freezing. 

Gather senior's supplies- medicine and pets to transport to safe place.  This is usually family or friend who lives near by.  If this occurs on a holiday or weekend, the elder may want you to return to the dwelling and report if the temperature inside remains above freezing.  The placement of additional space type heaters may be beneficial.

This is a rather brief, simple guide designed to keep the elder safe when the Winter temperatures freeze and the dwelling furnace is not operating.   This is not a comprehensive, or complete instruction for furnace difficulty.  Typically the County will maintain an energy assistance program that has experts available to help solve similar situations and would be an important resource to contact.
