Off-Season Furnace Check

There is never a bad time to check a furnace to make sure it is in sound condition. Edmonton plumbingand heating experts probably found the demand for heating system repairs to be at its peak during the height of the cold weather season. The beginning of spring still has enough chilly days and nights to involve home heating, but it also allows enough downtime to get a thorough inspection of the system, with particular emphasis on leaks and the combustion chamber. Leaks in furnaces and heating systems can affect the health and safety of occupants, as chemical residues can build up in indoor environments.

Modern technology has improved the furnace inspection process with the addition of infrared cameras that can check for leaks, determine the condition of the combustion chamber, and pinpoint areas for repairs. With a real-time view, highly trained technicians can look for cracks, splits and points of excessive wear. The technology also allows technicians to measure the combustion process to detect problems with fuel usage and efficiency.

Furnace economy, efficiency, and safety are important for residences and commercial locations. Many businesses utilize furnaces for industrial processes as well as indoor comfort. In the era of climate focus, heating concerns also involve pollution and conservation. Costs are yet another aspect of heating, and efficiency can reduce costs, conserve energy, and reduce pollution.
