All may seem calm and bright this holiday season until a crack in your heat exchanger leaks carbon monoxide into the home. If your furnace hasn’t been checked this year, have the Certified Heat Exchanger Specialists at Four Seasons take a look.
Heat Exchanger Cracks and Leaks
As the furnace ages, the heat exchanger becomes vulnerable to cracks and leaks. The constant heating and cooling of the steel that makes up the heat exchanger eventually leads to weakening and what may begin as hairline cracks can turn into carbon monoxide leaking holes in your furnace. The noxious gases created during the combustion process are then allowed to circulate throughout the home and can lead to illness and possibly even death if the concentration reaches high enough levels.
Professional Heat Exchanger Assessment
Installing carbon monoxide detectors is the first step, and the second step is to have your furnace assessed on a yearly basis by the heat exchanger specialists at Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning. They have been specially trained to detect leaks during our yearly maintenance checks. If a leak is present, they will show it to you and make recommendations on where to take it from there. The system will likely need replacement, and odds are the unit was already on the way out the door due to its age.
Keep Your Holidays Merry with Four Seasons
Four Seasons understands that the last issue anyone wants to deal with is an additional cost around the holidays. However, taking a risk and not replacing could cause irreversible consequences for your family. Replace the system before a leak makes your holiday anything but merry, and gain true peace of mind with Four Seasons!
