Gas Furnaces
We service and install many different types of heating units. With over 18 years in the plumbing, heating & air conditioning business there really isn’t anything we haven’t seen.
A gas furnace is a heating system that uses natural gas as fuel to create heat energy through combustion. The gas is piped to a burner located inside a combustion chamber, where it is mixed with air and ignited by a pilot light or a spark controlled by a thermostat. The flame heats up a metal box called the heat exchanger, where room air is heated as it flows through. The hot air is then circulated through the HVAC ducts via fans.
Why should maintenance be done on your furnace?
Maintenance should be done on your furnace at least twice a year, with filters being changed every 3-6 months. It’s important to maintain your equipment to keep it efficient on those cold winter months, keep your warranty valid & to help eliminate costly repairs in the future.
