ness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monox
ide gas. This is often misdiagnosed as the flu because
symptoms are similar. If you suffer from flu-like symp
toms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to sub
side while you are away from the house, exposure to
carbon monoxide could be the cause.
Your vigilance may pay off in early detection of a problem
before either personal injury or property damage occurs.
Do not hesitate to contact a qualified service technician as
an investment in your well being.

Planned Service

You should expect a service technician to check the fol
lowing items during an annual inspection. Power to the
unit must be shut off for the service technician's safety.
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room
where the furnace is installed) - Must be open and unob
structed to provide combustion air.
Burners- Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of wa
ter.
Vent pipe - Must be inspected for dirt, signs of water,
damaged or sagging unsupported pipe, or disconnected
joints.
Unit appearance - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower access door - Must be properly in place and pro
vide a seal between the return air and the room where the
furnace is installed.
Return air duct - Must be properly attached and provide
an airtight seal to the unit.
Operating performance - Unit must be observed during
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and
the vent system.
Combustion gases - Flue products must be analyzed
and compared to the unit specifications.
Problems detected during the inspection may make it
necessary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the
items can be repaired or replaced.
Pay attention to your furnace. Situations can arise be
tween annual furnace inspections that may result in un
safe operation. For instance, items innocently stored next
to the furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply.
This could cause incomplete combustion and the produc
tion of carbon monoxide gas.
