Heating Inspection Safety Tune Up

Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas, and because you can’t see it or smell it, the fumes can kill you. How do you protect yourself and your family from something you can’t see?

It’s time to prepare your HVAC heating system for the winter season and schedule your Heating Safety Tune Up.

A heating safety tune up is important because it’s about your safety. If you burn gas, this heating HVAC inspection could literally save lives! Fumes from carbon monoxide are deadly!

7 Tips to Keep Your Family Warm and Safe this Winter

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommend the following precautions to prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

  1. Have a trained HVAC professional inspect, clean, and tune-up your central heating system (furnaces, flues, and chimneys) annually
  2. Check chimneys, flues, and vents for leakage and blockage
  3. Check all vents to furnaces, water heaters, boilers, and other fuel-burning appliances to make sure they are not loose or disconnected
  4. Inspect vent pipes on heating systems
  5. Inspect appliances for adequate ventilation. A supply of fresh air is important to help carry pollutants up the chimney, stovepipe, or flue and is necessary for the complete combustion of any fuel
  6. Making sure ventilation air openings aren’t blocked
  7. Install a professional grade low-level co monitor.

Installing a Low-Level Carbon Monoxide CO Monitor

When you install a low-level carbon monoxide monitor it will let you know there is a problem before reaching dangerous, even deadly CO levels, long before the other CO detectors even begin to work!

You can purchase a low-level CO monitor from M.E. Flow in Leesburg, Alexandria, or Winchester. Watch a video to learn more about the NSI low-level CO monitor and how it compares to those CO monitors you can purchase at the hardware store. Be sure to talk to your HVAC service technician about installing the NSI low-level CO monitor during your heating safety tune-up.

What’s Wrong with This Picture?
