TAKE CAUTION
If you are performing any kind of gas furnace maintenance, turn off the gas line. The valve to turn off your gas line should be located near the gas meter.
LOOK
Look at the flames in the burner. You should see a steady blue flame. If you see yellow or orange flicking, call a specialist to determine if something other than natural gas is burning.
LISTEN
Listen for questionable noises or vibrations while the furnace is on. If you hear any unusual sounds, ask your technician for guidance.
SMELL
Smell for any gas leaks. If you smell gas, do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not use a phone in your building. Immediately call a gas supplier from your neighbor’s phone. Remember, you may not be able to smell fuel gases. Carbon monoxide detectors are recommended and should be installed according to all local laws and regulations.
ALERT
In the event that electrical, fuel or mechanical failures occur, immediately turn the gas supply off at the manual gas valve on the gas pipe before turning off electrical power to the furnace. Contact a qualified service agency as soon as possible.
Do not use this unit if any part has been under water. A flood damaged unit is extremely dangerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion.
Schedule a preventative maintenance checkup with your local dealer every fall before winter weather arrives. Here’s what your dealer will do during your gas furnace service appointment.
Taking care of the filter is one of the most important things you can do for your furnace. As the system circulates air, it filters the air in your home and extracts excess moisture to help control humidity.
When your furnace circulates the air in your home, dust and dirt particles build up on the filter. Excessive accumulation can block the airflow, forcing your furnace to work harder to maintain a constant temperature. The harder your unit has to work, the more energy it uses.
The easy answer is to change your filter when it gets dirty. For every home and homeowner, how quickly your filter gets filled up depends on several factors like home size, pets and others. But here’s a few guidelines to follow:
First, find out where the filter is located in your system and then follow these steps. If you have any questions, contact your local Trane Dealer.
