The Importance of a Furnace Check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your furnace is nothing less than essential during the winter. Our Tucson, AZ winter temperatures have the potential to get quite cold. You need to make sure that your heater can serve you well if you\u2019re going to run it so often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simple furnace check is the best thing you can do for your home. This is what\u2019s going to keep you and your family healthy and safe. It\u2019s always important to have a highly-trained heating technician come to your home to check things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does This Check Include?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you wondering what this safety check looks like? Here are a few key things our technicians do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test Gas Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like most people in Tucson, then you have a natural gas furnace system. Our technicians will take a close look at your system and measure both its carbon monoxide and oxygen levels. This initial check makes sure that everything is in line so that you can operate your furnace safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the Pilot Light<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your furnace’s pilot light is always supposed to be blue. This is the right flame temperature to ensure that you get high-efficiency heat this winter. If the flame is yellow, orange, or red, our professionals will see this, note it, and fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Carbon Monoxide Detectors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a furnace and something goes wrong, you\u2019re going to open yourself up to potential carbon monoxide poisoning. This is where your home\u2019s carbon monoxide detectors become your front line of defense. We\u2019ll make sure they\u2019re ready to detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
