Pullen Air Conditioning says it's time to put furnace safety on the front burner.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, October 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) Besides helping customers receive maximum value for their heating dollars, an annual furnace inspection can prevent any potential fires or carbon monoxide problems. If you have central air conditioning, you most likely have a central forced air heating system. Central forced air heating systems only emit carbon monoxide within the first 30-90 seconds of operation; carbon monoxide poisoning isn't the concern nearly as much as a fire hazard.

"Even a dangerous furnace will still heat your home. Nearly 100% of our customers with bad heaters are unaware of their dangerous furnace", says Eric Pullen, owner of Pullen Air Conditioning. "A cracked heat exchanger, typically undetected by customers, could be a serious fire hazard. It is important to have any fuel-burning heating source checked annually to make sure it's working properly."

A heating system that is not maintained is a problem waiting to happen. At the very least, operating costs could escalate due to inefficient use of fuel and the eventual need for repairs. In the worst case, improperly maintained equipment may compromise safety by causing dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide or serious fire hazard.
