(Newswire.net — August 29, 2014) Vancouver, BC — It’s easy to take for granted: out of sight and generally very reliable, furnaces keep us warm year after year, rarely causing us concern. However, every furnace can benefit from an annual cleaning and tune up. Not only will regular autumn furnace maintenance keep your furnace running efficiently and saving you money, it gives you peace of mind as a result of having been inspected for safety issues by a certified gasfitter.
Furnace Safety Come First
Subjected to heating and cooling numerous times each day, a furnace can develop cracks in manifolds, heat exchangers and exhaust vents. By now, most furnaces in British Columbia are high-efficiency models that require specialized knowledge for servicing. In the Lower Mainland, as in urban areas in general, the vast majority will be gas-fired. Though some people think a furnace tune up is a do-it-yourself project, that is not the case with today’s complex, high-efficiency condensing furnaces. Remember that your home’s furnace is a meeting place for highly combustible gas and electricity. Don’t take chances with that combination. Always have your furnace serviced by a certified HVAC technician.
Have a Healthy Heating Season
A thorough cleaning of your furnace’s air-movement components, along with a new filter each year, goes a long way to ensuring a healthy home in the winter. This is especially true for sufferers of asthma and allergies. Asthma sufferers are more likely to experience increased discomfort in Vancouver’s humid autumn and winter, and a clean heating system definitely helps them. Jack, at K.C.’s Plumbing and Heating says:”Today’s homes are a bit complex when it comes to heating. They tend to be tightly sealed in order to reduce energy consumption, but that can also mean inadequate fresh air in the home during the heating season.” The experts at K.C.’s Plumbing and Heating are trained to notice clues the average home owner wouldn’t, and may recommend changes, such as the installation of a heat recovery ventilator that pulls heat from outgoing air and adds it to incoming, cool air. An HVR can help reduce heating costs while making your home a healthier environment.
