Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
(Old Furnaces)
(Improper Installation)
With age older units tend to rust and decay leaving you open to Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It can be a danger not only to you but to your family. Carbon Monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). 1,500 people die annually due to accidental carbon monoxide exposure, and additional 10,000 seek medical attention. (Medical experts agree that it's difficult to estimate the total number of carbon monoxide incidents because the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble so many other common ailments.)
Carbon monoxide is a flammable, colorless, odorless, tasteless toxic gas produced during incomplete combustion of fuel - Natural Gas, Oil, Coal, Wood, Kerosene, etc.
How does CO enter the home?
Carbon monoxide can escape from any old or improperly installed FURNACE.
What it is
Central heating systems have a primary heating appliance, typically located in your basement or garage. All furnaces consist of four main components: 1) burners that deliver and burn fuel, 2) heat exchangers, 3) a blower and 4) a flue that acts as an exhaust for gaseous by-products. Depending on your situation, region and needs, you can choose from heating systems running on either gas or oil as fuel, or a hybrid packaged system that can use both fuel types.
How it works
Combustion gases are generated by the burners in your furnace and passed over a heat exchanger. Air from your home blows across the heat exchanger to be warmed. It is then blown through a system of ducts to distribute around your home.
During warm seasons your heating system works with your central air conditioning. Air is cooled as it's blown over your air conditioning unit's cooling coil, often attached to the exhaust of the furnace, and then sent over the same air ducts throughout your home.
An independent Trane dealer can help you decide which central cooling and heating system is right for you. Trane matched systems can be customized with cooling and heating units that match your situation and let you choose from a range of energy efficiency.
Gas Furnaces
Most homeowners wish that a gas furnace would last forever. And that wish could be granted when you install a Gear gas furnace. The gas furnaces we offer what many conclude are the best warranty programs in the heating and cooling industry. Several furnace models offer variable and multi-speed performance. This provides enhanced indoor comfort by slowly ramping up to your thermostat setting rather that simply starting at full speed. This alleviates the ?cold airblow' often associated with single-speed furnaces. To find the highest level of energy-efficient gas furnaces, look for the highest AFUE rating.
