Maximize your home comfort system's abilities!

Your home comfort system needs periodic attention to run efficiently. Its vital internal components get caked with dirt, dust, and gunk. If your furnace and air conditioner never get serviced, all that filth makes them run much harder than necessary to cool and heat your home.

If your system has to work much harder to get your home to your desired level of comfort, it’s burning more energy. It’s also only a matter of time before breakdowns and expensive repairs occur. It may even need to be replaced sooner than expected.

Green Screened contractors can help maximize your home comfort systems abilities by performing a Green Screened EcoSharp Calibration. It’s part of the Home Conservation Evaluation. During an EcoSharp Calibration, a Green Screened certified technician will complete a multi-point inspection of more than 50 potential problem areas in your furnace and air conditioner. He will then clean, adjust, lubricate, and ensure that your system is fully function, so you have peace of mind knowing that it will be running as efficiently as the day it was installed. On average, an EcoSharp Calibration can improve a system’s efficiency by as much as 17%!

While the technician is there, he may use an infrared camera, called the Green Screened EcoSharp Inspector. This camera can detect hard-to-find cracks in certain components of your home comfort system. These cracks can release hazardous carbon monoxide gases. As many as 10,000 injuries occur each year because of carbon monoxide poisoning. Click below for more information about this incredible tool and how it can help you!

Save your home from carbon monoxide with the Inspector!

Inside your home comfort system, there is a small piece of equipment called a heat exchanger. It’s responsible for supplying your home with warm air in the winter. Every time you turn your furnace on, this heat exchanger becomes red hot and expands. Over its lifetime, it expands and contracts thousands of times, and occasionally, it can crack due to the stress.

Cracked heat exchangers emit carbon monoxide, which is often referred to as the silent killer, and for good reason. It’s odorless and tasteless. When it’s released into the air, homeowners often can’t tell. And if enough of it makes it into a home’s air supply, it can lead to devastating consequences.

Making things even more challenging, the most experienced and talented HVAC technicians often cannot see these cracks. Heat exchangers are positioned in a difficult place to reach in your home comfort system. And these cracks can often be microscopic.

To eliminate this problem, Green Screened contractors use the EcoSharp Inspector. It’s an infrared camera that can be inserted into your home comfort system, view your heat exchanger, and locate even the smallest of cracks. The Inspector has a monitor attached to it, so you can see the crack along with the technician.

If you would like to see if your home comfort system may have even the slightest crack in its heat exchanger and could be potentially emitting dangerous carbon monoxide gasses, contact the Green Screened technician in your community by clicking here.
