Failing to take care of your furnace is not only detrimental to your wallet but your health too. Join us today as we look at the many dangers of failing to maintain your furnace.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning is by far the greatest danger furnace maintenance neglect poses to you and your family. Gas furnaces have a heat exchanger that removes toxic gases, including carbon monoxide, produced during combustion. Unfortunately, this heat exchanger is prone to cracking because of rapid expansion and contraction following temperature changes over time.
This cracking can lead to carbon monoxide and other harmful gases leaking into your home. Carbon monoxide is a metabolic poison that results in about 50,000 emergency room cases and 430 deaths each year. If you don’t take proper care of your furnace, you could also be a statistic.
Elevated Energy Bills
Your gas furnace won’t run as efficiently as it should if you don’t take good care of it. As a result, it’ll have to use more energy to do some of the most basic functions. This will send your energy bills through the roof.
Something as simple as a clogged filter will dramatically increase your energy bills. The problem is you won’t know your filters are clogged until you call a furnace technician to check on them.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
The more you neglect your furnace, the more dust, fungi, and debris it accumulates. Your HVAC circulates the accumulated dust and debris, significantly compromising your indoor air quality. This could exacerbate your allergies, sinuses or lead to far worse respiratory illnesses.
Frozen and Burst Pipes
Apart from keeping you warm during the winter, your furnace also prevents poorly insulated pipes from freezing and bursting during the cold season. If you don’t take proper care of your furnace, this could jeopardize your pipe system due to broken and frozen pipes. A defective plumbing pipe system equals no water in the faucets, showers, and toilets. Plus, you’ll also have to spend a bundle on repairing the damaged pipes.
Expensive Repairs
Minor issues with your furnace could spiral into full-blown problems that cost a fortune to fix. A regular maintenance schedule lets you address issues with your furnace before they grow into major problems that are expensive to repair.
