The heating systems job is to generate and distribute heat throughout the home. The heat is usually generated centrally, then distributed by air through ducts or by water in pipes. When the heat is distributed through ducts the system is called a furnace; if the heat is distributed in pipes the system is called a boiler. The most common fuels used to heat the air or water are gas, oil, or electricity. Heat can also be generated in each room like a fireplace, wood stove or electric baseboard heat.
We inspect:
- Installed heating equipment and energy sources;
- Combustion vent systems and chimneys;
- Fuel storage tanks;
