Furnace and boiler flue
Flue systems that vent exhaust from home heating systems.
Furnace and boiler flues are crucial for safely venting combustion gases from home heating systems. They must remain in good condition to prevent carbon monoxide leaks.
Regular cleaning is necessary to remove any obstructions or build-up, which can affect the efficiency and safety of the heating system. Inspections should ensure that the flue is intact and properly sealed.
Any signs of rust, corrosion, or leaks should be promptly addressed to prevent health hazards and maintain heating performance.
Keep it well
- Schedule annual inspections before the heating season.
- Check the flue for blockages after heavy snow or ice.
- Ensure the vent cap is secure and undamaged.
- Consider installing a carbon monoxide detector nearby.
