Possible reasons for a Red Tag
A common and severe problem with furnaces and boilers are cracked or blocked heat exchangers. Cracked or blocked heat exchangers are incredibly dangerous because they will allow carbon monoxide to be released into your home. Breathing in large amounts of carbon monoxide is fatal, which is why it is extremely important to get your furnace inspected on an annual schedule.
Carbon Monoxide is very hard to detect without the correct equipment because it’s colourless, odorless and tasteless.
Our Carbon Monoxide testing equipment can detect as low as 2 ppm whereas a household carbon monoxide detector requires a larger concentration to let off an audible sound. Having said that, it is still a wise investment to make sure you have at least two Carbon Monoxide Detectors in your home, and they are replaced every THREE to FIVE years.
Other Reasons For a Red Tag
- Fire hazards
- Electrical hazards
- Other carbon monoxide hazards
- Natural gas leaking
- Blocked or broken flue pipe
- Improper venting configuration
