Dirty Furnace Can
Burn Your House Down and Make You Sick
What do you think happens when do
not clean your furnace filter? Do you think your furnace is going to
run forever on a dirty filter? What happens when it gets polluted
with dirt, pet hair and the fan and motor can not run properly? If
you answered yes or not to any of these problems, read on.
When your furnace or air conditioning combination is not maintained
every six months or at least once a year dirt builds up in the
motor. Your furnace is working but not putting out the heat. You
will be pushing the thermostat up for more heat which adds to your
heating bill.
When your furnace or air conditioning motor is clogged dirty debris
from the furnace is circulated throughout your home. This is what
you and your family are breathing. Sickness follows. If somebody in
your family has been sick lately this may be creating the problem.
After a few years of this neglect what do you think happens? Your
furnace will probably break. If you are lucky you might still be
able to salvage your furnace by replacing a part.
At the time of the service call make sure you ask the service person
to check to see if the furnace is clean and functioning properly. If
the motor is dirty and clogged you have a serious problem. You could
very easily have a fire with flames or a smoke fire that fills your
home.
If you have a smoke fire the clean up is incredibly expensive and
you and your family will probably have to vacate your home. If your
fire is with flames your home will disappear along with everything
that you own. Then you are your homeowners insurance company can
butt heads and watch your stress and blood pressure escalate.
Save yourself and your family the stress, immense financial burden
and clean your filters and have a licensed contractor check and
clean your furnace and air-conditioning system. |
