Frequently Asked Questions

There’s often a simpler solution to your comfort problem. Maybe you can find the answer you’re looking for in our FAQ below!

• How often should a furnace be serviced?

  Homeowners should have their furnace or boiler system serviced one or more times per year. This will help prolong the heating system’s expected life and help to cut back repairs and utility costs.

• Is preventative furnace maintenance worth it?

  Heater maintenance is a lot like car maintenance. Routine furnace maintenance is key to helping your home heating last as long as possible.

• What can be done to protect my home from carbon monoxide?

  Listed below are a couple steps you can take to keep your family protected from carbon monoxide:

  • Warm up your car out of your garage. Cars are a significant source of carbon monoxide poisoning, so do not leave yours going in the confined space of a garage. The same is true for gas equipment such as lawn mowers or snowmobiles.
  • Don’t run ovens or grills as heaters. These appliances are safe when used right but can create carbon monoxide when used for an extended period of time in small spaces.
  • Don’t turn on a gas generator indoors because it produces fumes.
  • Have your chimney inspected by a specialist. This ensures chimneys and vents aren’t blocked and are connected appropriately.
  • Confirm gas appliances are operating correctly, particularly your heater. You can ensure efficient, safe operation by booking routine furnace maintenance with Roland J. Down Service Experts.
  • Install your preferred model of carbon monoxide and smoke detector on every floor of your home, particularly outside bedrooms and common areas where gas appliances are in use.
