Outdated heating equipment isn’t just bad for your budget; it can also negatively affect your health! Not to worry, you’ve got the experts at E.T. Lawson to make sure your heating equipment isn’t a risk to your health.

Poor Comfort Coverage

The most obvious way an uncared for heating system will impact your health is the lack of warmth in the winter. While those who can take cold can manage, elderly residents, children and even pets can suffer without proper comfort control.

Dirty, Dusty Air

Air-forced systems such as furnaces are equipped with filters to help with air quality within the home, but without proper maintenance and cleaning those filters can become blocked and end up distributing the collected debris back into the home instead.

Potentially High Carbon Monoxide Levels

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be produced by the incomplete combustion of heating oil – so if your equipment is producing black smoke or soot, be sure to call E.T. Lawson immediately as this is a sign your equipment is not properly functioning. Thankfully, this situation can be avoided with regular maintenance.
