A furnace that looks like it's running fine can still have hidden safety problems. We've found cracked heat exchangers in homes in Belair where the CO detector never went off because the crack was small enough to not trigger it. but still leaking. Loose gas connections, blocked exhaust vents, and corroded flue pipes can all put carbon monoxide in your living space without any visible warning. Pentagon Air's safety check focuses specifically on the things that could put your family at risk.
When You Need a Furnace Safety Check
Schedule a safety check if your CO detector has gone off, if you smell gas near your furnace, or if your furnace is over 15 years old. Headaches, dizziness, or nausea when the furnace runs can indicate carbon monoxide exposure. this happens more than people think in older Bowie homes with aging gas furnaces. If you just moved into a home and don't know the furnace's maintenance history, a safety check is worth the peace of mind.
Our Furnace Safety Check Process
We test for carbon monoxide at the furnace, at register vents throughout your home, and at the flue exit. We inspect the heat exchanger using specialized tools to find cracks that aren't visible to the naked eye. We check gas connections and valves for leaks using electronic gas detectors. We test all safety switches and controls, inspect the flue pipe and venting for blockages or disconnections, and verify proper combustion. If we find any safety concern, we explain it immediately and walk you through your options.
