Are Your Gas Appliances Safe to Use?
It's important to periodically check the condition of all gas appliances in your home. Having a gas leak can lead to catastrophic consequences. This is why you need highly experienced technicians to do a comprehensive assessment of all your gas appliances to ensure that they are safe to use. Call No-Frost A/C & Heating today for an inspection of your heating system.
The typical lifespan of a gas furnace is between 12 and 20 years. During this time, it is important to get annual checks done to preserve the functioning capacity of your system. Our technicians will check for visible cracks or holes in your heat exchanger, which is the largest component in every gas furnace. It performs the vital function of keeping the flame and exhaust safely contained.
How Do I Maintain My Gas Appliances As a Homeowner?
- Have your gas appliances inspected regularly by a qualified professional.
- Do not store rags, mops, paper, or other combustibles near any gas appliance.
- Never store anything near a gas appliance that might interfere with normal appliance airflow. Make sure that your gas-fired appliances have plenty of air so they can work properly.
- Never store or use flammable products in the same room or near any gas or heat-producing appliances. Such flammable products include gasoline, spray paints, solvents, insecticide, adhesives, insect foggers, varnish, cleaning products, and other pressurized containers.
- Periodically check outdoor appliance exhausts. If the vent becomes blocked, an emergency switch should stop the furnace from running. Snow or ice can build up and block the opening, and even birds' nests and "stink bugs" have been cited as the cause of some furnace vent problems. Never cover openings with mesh or netting, as this may affect proper operation.
