By making sure your home’s heating system is working at its most efficient, you can help lower your monthly utility bills, reduce or eliminate costly repairs and help to extend the working life of your system. Which is why Prescott Air Conditioning recommends getting a tune-up for the heating system in your Prescott home. A key element of a heating tune-up is ‘Combustion

A combustion analysis is a test of your system’s heat exchanger to ensure it is working property. Companies that only perform a visual inspection will not be able to uncover hairline cracks. Those cracks can lead, tragically in some cases, to carbon monoxide leaks.

A combustion analysis will confirm your furnace’s safe operation. The readings on a combustion analyzer will reveal if there is proper and safe combustion taking place. Ask the company who is performing your test if they are using a combustion analyzer.

Don’t depend on a whole-house carbon monoxide alarm in your home. The alarm doesn’t go off until there are already unsafe limits in the home for infants, young children, and the elderly. It is far better to ensure that there are no leaks in the first place.

Unfortunately there isn’t an industry standard regarding furnace ‘maintenance’, ‘safety checks’ or ‘tune-ups’. So it’s up to the homeowner to ensure that a combustion analysis is always included by your technician.

For your peace of mind and that of your family, call the professionals at Prescott Air Conditioning to schedule an inspection of your Prescott home’s heating unit. The fall season is a perfect time to schedule as you get ready to stay safe and warm this winter. Call us today at 928-308-1254 for more information.
