Before winter’s cold arrives and you feel the need to fire up your home’s heating system, it is important to schedule a yearly Heating Service. Without routine cleaning and inspection your heating equipment could wear quickly, pump dangerous carbon monoxide into the home or even break down completely.
Call Able Heating and Air Conditioning of Baton Rouge at 225-275-9775 for Heating Service.
In a gas heating system natural gas is mix with air and ignited, heating a sealed combustion chamber. Fresh air is blown past the outside of the heated chamber, also called the heat exchanger, through the air ducts and into the home. Deadly exhaust gases from the combustion chamber are vented to the outside air through the flue pipe.
Able’s Heating Service technician removes the blower wheel and burners to visually inspect the condition of the heat exchanger, looking for hairline cracks that could leak dangerous levels of carbon monoxide into your home. Our Heating Service includes vacuuming deposited rust from the burners and visually checking the flame. We check the function of the thermocouple and test the gas valve for leaks and we test the multiple safety devices built into the furnace to protect you. Finally we inspect the condition of the flue pipe to insure all exhaust gases are safely vented to the outside.
Although electric Heating Service is much simpler to perform, it is every bit as important. Able’s Heating Service technician checks all electrical connections for safety and integrity and makes sure all components are turning on and turning off as they should. This check insures the efficient and safe operation of your home’s electric heating system.
It is easy to forget about your home’s heating system through the hot, humid months of summer. But it is vitally important for the safety of your family and the longevity of the equipment to have a complete Heating Service and inspection performed before you have to fire up that furnace the first time this winter.
Call Able Heating and Air Conditioning today at 225-275-9775 to schedule a seasonal Heating Service.
