Even though these units have been area of us for a long time, the two of us still hear of grave accidents caused by them… When I was growing up an electric heat pump that belonged to my neighbor, blew up in flames, it even blew up the house, however fortunately, there was no one in the house; That incident traumatized myself and others but I did not think the cause of the fire.
When left uninspected, these units can destroy homes and even cause death… Gas oil heating systems are a official culprit when it comes to releasing carbon monoxide into the air.
Though these accidents are not official they do happen, but it happened to my sister. The heating company shared with us a few ways to ensure safety, but one is to ensure you do the required heat pump repairs and adhere to the tied up heating tune up. This would reveal any problems that could cause the release of this harmful gas; Regularly decreasing the gas furnace filter and checking the digital temperature control would also help, but some heat and A/C products come with sensors that alert a homeowner when the component has an issue, home services requirements include having qualified and skillful Heating as well as Air Conditioning serviceman. It is important to check the component from the onset during the gas furnace/heater installation. To reduce the strain on the component a zone controlled Heating as well as Air Conditioning plan would be best suited. This is according to the energy saving tips gave by the heating industry. These are some of the steps to take in preventing or treating any accidents caused by these units. However, the surest protection is servicing your component consistently! My sister survived and lived to tell the story again. She now has a carbon monoxide detector as she wants to be 100% sure of safety.
