Was Your Heater Inspected

By
Home Inspector with Armacost Home Inspections

Was your heater inspected for the coming colder days? like most people, I take for granted that my gas furnace is working just fine, after all it worked last season. After taking a course in green building verification I am now more aware of and interested in making sure the furnace is running more efficient to cut back on heating cost,but heating cost shoudn't be your main concern. Carbon monoxide, that colorless, oderless gas and accounts for about halph of all poisoning fatalities in the U.S,. By installing CO detectors in the home you improve your chance of detecting the poisonus gas. A qualified technician should inspect heat exchanger's, gas regulator's, etc. Even if the unit is new there could be installation problems, in which case the company is obligated to fix the situation. At Armacost Home Inspections we have seen various installation problems (usually piping, and venting). The inspection will only take a few minutes and will be well worth it.
