How To Inspect Your Furnace or Heating System
It’s important to have your furnace or heating system professionally inspected on a regular basis, preferably before the home heating season begins. If you’re a homeowner, it’s also a good idea for you to perform additional home heating system inspections throughout the heating season. When inspecting your heating system, check for the following:
- Corrosion, rust, or buildup that could be indicative of a leak.
- Strange odors, especially the smell of sulfur or rotten eggs.
- Exposed wires.
- If you smell gas, turn off the heating system, leave the house, and call your gas company immediately. If you find evidence of other issues, call an HVAC professional right away.
