A Chilling Reminder of the Risks of Carbon Monoxide
Heating your home is first and foremost a safety issue, then it's a comfort issue.
As
this article reminds us, the
furnace that's in your basement or attic can greatly affect your entire family, positively or negatively. The danger of not having annual furnace
maintenance is that a simple issue could turn into a huge, even life-threating problem in a very short time-frame. Conversely, the warmth and comfort which a properly maintained and tuned-up furnace can provide is a life-saver during peak winter months.
Please have your furnace
inspected annually, and place at least one Carbon Monoxide detector for every 700-1000 square feet, and at least one on each story in your home. Read the manual and understand what the readings mean. If you need any help, call us or another licensed, NATE-certified heating and air conditioning contractor.
It really doesn't matter how new or old your furnace is, what brand it is or where it came from. Just like a car's engine, a furnace is a mechanical device that can and will go wrong without routine
professional maintenance. A Carbon Monoxide leak is just one of many problems that can arise, so schedule a furnace
System Inspection or furnace
Tune-up today, it could help your family avoid furnace problems tomorrow.
