If your gas water heater or gas furnace have a significant amount of rust or if nearby copper pipes are corroded and green, you may have a serious safety and efficiency concern that needs to be addressed. These symptoms are often the result of flue pipe venting issues. The discoloration you see is due to the corrosive and potently poisonous gases produced by these appliances entering your home rather than being vented to the outside – a serious health and safety concern.
Furthermore, when gas heaters are not vented or not operating properly you are potentially spending more money to operate these appliances. During a whole home energy audit, we conduct combustion appliance safety and efficiency testing to identify these concerns and help you to implement the solutions to fix them. |
