Gas furnaces, Oil furnaces and Boiler Flues Need inspections Too
Just Like Your Fireplace Chimney, Your Heating Appliance Flues Need Maintenance
As homeowners, we tend to take our furnaces and boilers for granted, sometimes forgetting that they need maintenance too. You know you need your fireplace chimney flue to be inspected annually, but what about your gas or oil furnace?Or your boiler flue?
In our experience, gas or oil boilers and furnaces are one of the most neglected areas of the home. While your HVAC contractor may service your furnace or boiler annually, there are a few misconceptions surrounding what is included in that service.
Your Heating Flue Has An Important Job, Keep It Working Efficiently
You may think your HVAC contractor inspects the flue that vents the appliance, but that’s not generally true. Your HVAC contractor does not inspect the flue for damage, and chances are, if damage is present, they will not offer flue relining services. In our experience, even when HVAC contractors do offer flue relining, the work is not done to our standards.
Neglecting to inspect and clean your gas or oil heating can lead to:
- Corrosion
- Cracks and holes in the flue liner
- Inefficiencies in the system
- Carbon monoxide leaks into your home
Both gas and oil appliances produce moisture and byproducts that can buildup and corrode metal or masonry flue liner. Once holes and cracks develop and corrosive byproducts build up, the flue will not function as efficiently or as safely as it should.
Our experienced furnace flue relining experts have the knowledge and training to keep your home safe and your furnace or boiler working efficiently. Give us a call for an inspection and cleaning if you notice scorch marks near your flue opening.
Lou and his apprentice, Loraine, came to my house right on time, they were friendly and professional. They cleaned my main, log-burning fireplace chimney, which really needed it badly, quite quickly and thoroughly. It took less time than I thought it would. They were careful to clean up after it was all over, and even wore booties to protect my carpets. Lou also inspected my furnace flue and another gas fireplace flue. The whole process was quick and easy. I will definitely call Lou again in a year or two to clean the chimney again!
First, they were able to get me an earlier appointment than originally scheduled which was quite helpful. Lou and Steve were extremely professional, courteous, clean, and informative. During their inspection, they showed me everything they did step-by-step. I felt very confident with everything they had done at the end. Finally, the price was a good value for the service preformed. I would recommend Lou Curley’s Chimney Service to any one.
