Cambridge-based plumbing and heating company responds to home heating hazards with new no-cost service program

Cambridge, MA — September 22, 2009 — Winters Company (http://www.wintersplumbing.com), an award-winning home services organization in Massachusetts specializing in plumbing, heating, and kitchen and bath remodeling, today announced that it has given away more than 500 free carbon monoxide detectors and residential heating system safety evaluations to area homeowners. The company has been giving away these products and services free of charge since March of this year when it initiated the program, focusing on a variety of home safety issues.

Winters Company began providing the inspections and detector installation service free of charge in response to winter time news reports of incidents and tragedies related to carbon monoxide poisoning, faulty home heating systems or improper ventilation. The company began promoting the free detectors in March to existing customers, and the program has grown in popularity due to word of mouth. The company hopes to uncover potentially dangerous issues before they become a problem, and will provide free estimates for any additional service that homeowners may need.

“What began primarily as a winter time safety program has led to an ongoing way for us to create or strengthen relationships with hundreds of customers,” said Winters Company President and CEO Timothy Flynn. “Especially now when we approach colder weather in the months ahead, homeowners appreciate what we can do to improve their safety and well being.”

Winters Company dispatches licensed and insured service representatives from its Natick and Cambridge locations to homeowners in Eastern Mass. who are concerned about their heating system and carbon monoxide. Any homeowner can be provided with a free detector by making an appointment with Winters Company. Homeowners or anyone seeking additional information about the free carbon monoxide detectors can call Winters Company at (617) 484-2121, visit http://www.wintersplumbing.com or email Winters Company President at tim.flynn@wintersplumbing.com.
