5. Clean Heat Exchanger and Burners

Dirty heat exchangers and burners reduce the heating efficiency and capacity of your furnace.

6. Thoroughly Check for Cracked Heat Exchanger

As your furnace gets older, there is a real danger of cracks developing in the heat exchanger. These cracks can allow dangerous products of combustion (including carbon monoxide) to enter the fresh air of your home and endanger your safety and the safety of your family.
