Residential Heating Safety Check Services
At Desmond Heating & Cooling, your family’s comfort and safety are our highest priority. Your home’s gas furnace and water heater play a crucial role in keeping your household warm, but without proper care they can also pose risks. That’s why we offer thorough residential heating safety checks to ensure your equipment runs safely, efficiently, and reliably all year long.
Why Home Heating Safety Matters
Heating systems are often “out of sight, out of mind” — until something goes wrong. Regular safety checks help you:
- Prevent dangerous carbon monoxide leaks
- Avoid costly breakdowns in the middle of winter
- Improve energy efficiency and lower monthly bills
- Extend the lifespan of your equipment
- Protect your home and loved ones from potential hazards
What’s Included in Our Residential Safety Check
Gas Furnace Inspection
- Carbon Monoxide Detection – We test for leaks and confirm that your detectors are in place and working.
- Ventilation & Chimney Check – Ensuring vents, flues, and chimneys are free from blockages that could trap harmful gases.
- Burner & Heat Exchanger Exam – Looking for cracks, corrosion, or wear that may compromise safety.
- Electrical & Controls Testing – We inspect wiring, thermostats, and safety switches for reliable operation.
Water Heater Safety Review
- Temperature Settings – We check that your water heater is set to the recommended 120°F, preventing scalding while saving energy.
- Tank & Pressure Valve Inspection – Verifying the tank is in good condition and the relief valve is functioning properly.
- Ventilation & Gas Line Assessment – Confirming safe operation and proper airflow.
- Age & Performance Evaluation – Since water heaters typically last 8–12 years, we’ll let you know when replacement should be considered.
Equipment Lifespan Guidance
- Gas Furnaces: Average lifespan 15–20 years
