Is Your Gas Furnace Safe?

A gas furnace that is not operating at peak performance can be costly to run and can result in unsafe levels of carbon monoxide—an odorless, colorless byproduct of all gas furnaces that can cause flu-like symptoms, disorientation, confusion, and even death.
It is highly recommended that you have your furnace cleaned and checked every year—the older the furnace, the more important this service is. Newer gas furnaces are equipped with many features that shut the furnace off when a problem is detected. However, older furnaces have no such devices. Over time, furnaces can develop small cracks in the combustion chamber that may not be visible to the naked eye. It is through these cracks that carbon monoxide can leak into your home.

1. Contact your home heating company for a routine maintenance and inspection of your home heating system. They can ensure your furnace is in good working order and operating as efficiently as possible to save you money in the long run.
