Heating Season: Naftogaz Warns Ukrainians About Key Gas Hazards

With the onset of the heating season in Ukraine, specialists urge citizens to pay special attention to the safety of using gas equipment. The gas supply company 'Naftogaz Ukraine' has published a list of main requirements and warnings that will help avoid emergency situations during the cold period. The company reminds that before turning on the heating systems, it is necessary to conduct a technical inspection of the equipment. 'Order maintenance only from specialists' - Naftogaz emphasizes the risks of self-intervention. It is also important to monitor the condition of ventilation and flue channels, which should not be cluttered or frozen. Specialists point out that gas appliances must operate with free access to air - they should not be covered by furniture or textiles. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden to use a gas stove for heating a room - this is one of the most dangerous practices that annually leads to poisonings. Naftogaz recommends modernizing old systems, as modern appliances are not only more economical but also provide a higher level of safety. 'If you haven't checked your boiler or water heater for a long time - now is the time to do it' - the company stresses. Energy specialists emphasize: adherence to simple rules can prevent tragedies and protect lives during the heating season.
