Blue Furnace FlameWith fall around the corner, it’s time to think about a furnace check-up from a qualified Charlotte HVAC company. An inexpensive inspection now can prevent an unexpected costs later and provide you with continuous, toasty comfort during the winter months. If a gas furnace is heating your home, the HVAC technician will check for a number of things, include the following:

Soot, dirt and corrosion around the combustion chamber. This can cause erosion and can be cleaned by a professional.

Floor vent obstructions. Dust, pet hair and other small particles that accumulate over time can decrease the efficiency of a furnace.

Burner flame color. The furnace flame should be blue. An orange or yellow flame can indicate a problem.

Flue pipe leaks. The technician will carefully check and fix any flue pipe holes. A leaky flue pipe can cause carbon monoxide to enter the home.
