Carbon Monoxide Safety and Heat Exchanger Inspection
Most people are aware that their furnace puts out carbon monoxide, which most of the time is vented outside without any danger to your home or family. However, one specific issue that can put your family at risk is a cracked heat exchanger. This is when the component inside your furnace that holds all of the heat develops a crack and will potentially let the fumes from burning fuel into the air that is being pushed into your home.
Warning Signs of Carbon Monoxide Exposure
If you or anyone else is experiencing any of these symptoms, you will need to immediately turn off all of the gas-burning appliances and call us as soon as possible:
- Flu-like symptoms
- Headaches that go away once you leave the home
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Weakness
- Difficulty breathing
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, and very deadly gas that can build up in your home. Early detection and prevention are critical to keeping your family safe.
Our Carbon Monoxide Prevention Services
We will thoroughly inspect your furnace to ensure proper operation whenever we are at your home doing preventive maintenance or a service call. Our comprehensive inspections include:
- Gas pressure checks to ensure you have the proper gas flow
- Heat exchanger inspection, making sure that there are no cracks
- Inspection of gas lines for leaks
- Testing of limits and rollouts to ensure the safeties are working properly
- Testing and inspection of all carbon monoxide testers within your home
Ensuring that you have low-level carbon monoxide testers installed and regularly testing them will prevent possible disasters.
