The Importance of Regular Residential Heater Inspection and Maintenance: Preventing Carbon Monoxide Leaks

Prevent Carbon Monoxide Leaks 


It's essential to ensure that your residential heater is in top condition to keep your home warm and cozy. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for the optimal performance of your heating system and can also help prevent costly repairs down the line. In addition to these benefits, regular maintenance can also help prevent carbon monoxide leaks, which can be deadly.


What You May Not Know About a Heater Inspection:


Known as the silent killer, Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that can be produced by fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, boilers, and heaters. When these appliances are not properly maintained or malfunction, they can leak CO into your home, posing a serious risk to your health and safety. CO poisoning can cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can lead to unconsciousness and death.

What You Need to Know About Having a Heater Inspection:


Often overlooked, one of the most important aspects of residential furnace inspection and maintenance is checking the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is responsible for transferring heat from the combustion chamber to the air in your home. Over time, this unit can become clogged with dust and debris, reducing its efficiency and increasing the risk of CO leaks.


Have your furnace serviced by a qualified technician trained in heat exchanger inspections. During this annual service, the technician will check all components of your heating system, including the burners, flue pipes, and ventilation system, to ensure that they are functioning properly and not leaking CO.


Why It Matters:


Regular maintenance can also help extend the lifespan of your residential furnace. By catching minor issues early on, you can prevent them from becoming major repairs that could require replacing the entire system. This can save you thousands of dollars in the long run.


Regular residential heater inspection and maintenance are essential for keeping your home warm and comfortable during winter. By having your furnace serviced annually, you can help prevent carbon monoxide leaks and ensure optimal performance. Remember, a small investment in maintenance now can save you big in the future.

What Others Have to Say About Us:

“Your satisfaction is what they strive for and my experience is above and beyond 100% satisfaction. Every employee at Buckley is about the best customer service possible. I had them replace an old failing HVAC system with a U.S.A. made highly rated Trane heat pump. They also recommended replacing ductwork that was leaking, which I had them do. Couldn’t be happier. My new system is very efficient and our home temperature comfort much improved. Hats off to Buckley, and thank you for our new HVAC system. Choose them. You will not be disappointed.”
