WHAT IS COMBUSTION ANALYSIS?

Most residential HVAC systems use forced-air units to heat and distribute warm or cool air in the house according to the time of year. Here, air is pulled into your furnace and heats up before being distributed to other rooms through ducts or air vents. Now it's important to note that the process of heating air involves fuel combustion and the inevitable emission of harmful gases. Thus, there’s a need to analyze the gases in the furnace (mostly oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide) to ensure these are all within the ideal operating ranges & the furnace is burning clean.

Consider combustion analysis on the next visit by your local comfort advisor's at Blue Bear.

Here is why it’s essential.

- KEEPS YOU SAFE FROM HARMFUL GASES Let’s reiterate that all heating systems generate exhaust gases like carbon monoxide. These gases are a significant health hazard to you and your family if they accumulate to high levels. A combustion analysis allows a technician to check the ratio of clean air to harmful gases in the HVAC system and diagnose the state of your furnace system.

An technician can easily detect leakages or other malfunctions by analyzing the furnace gas components. If there are cracks, it’s obvious that harmful gases like carbon monoxide are leaking into the house, and this requires immediate attention. Combustion analysis could inevitably be the first and most crucial part of any HVAC inspection.

- IMPROVES HVAC EFFICIENCY Efficiency in this case means improving fuel economy. A combustion analysis detects how efficiently your heating system transfers natural air into usable heat. Too much oxygen in the furnace exhaust can lead to unburned combustibles like soot, smoke, and CO, which may lead to a clogged system in the long run, meanwhile too little oxygen can cause a over firing issue resulting in the furnace burning to hot! It's these and many other checks we can perform with a combustion analysis thats makes it vital to any inspection!

ENHANCED SAFETY

Many homeowners have an annual furnace inspection to keep up on this vital component. Others install smoke detectors to protect their properties from hazards like electrical fires. You may even go as far as restricting the HVAC areas from kids and pets to ensure safety. These are essential safety measures, but do you know what else could boost the safety of your home? A combustion analysis.

Get reliable company to check your system to ensure that you have access to clean, safe air.

SAVES MONEY

By identifying issues that can’t be seen with a visual inspection, combustion analysis can also help you save money on repairs. When problems are identified early, they can be fixed before they turn into more serious problems, including a complete furnace breakdown. Fixing issues early also helps your heating system run more efficiently.

Upkeep saves money! It’s the small things you do that matter the most. Every time a professional walks into your home to conduct tasks like cleaning internal components, changing filters, and analyzing furnace combustion, your heating system receives a boost in performance. Additionally, each minor repair increases the longevity of your system and helps you save money on energy bills.

MITIGATES AIR POLLUTION

HVAC systems use fuel combustion to function. The end products are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other harmful emissions like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOX), and sulfur oxides (SO2) that exist freely in the flue gas. These gases are a significant cause of air pollution, and they can affect your health greatly.

Air combustion analysis can monitor the emission of unsafe gases and ensure that they are not contributing to indoor or outdoor air pollution. If you are concerned about harmful gases in the home or environment, you need to turn to HVAC experts like those at Blue Bear Heating & Air to keep your home heating unit from emitting them.
