Are Your Water Heater and Furnace Giving You More Than You Want?

Water heaters and furnaces are critical components for regulating temperature in a home. But if they’re not operating properly, they can use energy inefficiently. Worse, they can emit fumes like carbon monoxide that are dangerous and difficult to detect.

During your Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® analysis, your Alpine Energy Solutions rater will inspect the mechanicals inside your home to make sure they’re running efficiently, exhausting dangerous fumes properly, and not producing carbon monoxide.

It’s equally important to double check your mechanicals after you’ve made improvements. Alpine Energy Solutions expert raters understand that your home is a system. Improvements in one area can impact other parts of your home. When you add insulation, seal air leaks, or adjust ventilation, it’s very important to ensure that your hot water heater and furnace are not back-drafting carbon monoxide into your home. With that in mind, our rater will return after you’ve made improvements to re-evaluate your entire home system.
