Gas Boiler? Your Home Needs Protection From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Gas boilers offer high-performance heating for homes and businesses and are designed to meet high standards for safety and manufacturing quality. However, with every system of this kind there is a level of risk, and it’s important to have the right information and systems in place to ensure a healthy, safe environment. Here’s some insight on carbon monoxide poisoning risks, from plumbing wholesalers in NJ.

Why Do Gas Boilers Leak Carbon Monoxide? 

Gas boilers don’t actually leak carbon monoxide – they create it, especially when they are not operating correctly. Carbon monoxide is created when your boiler isn’t consuming fuel completely, leaving the carbon monoxide to build up in the environment.

Why is this Dangerous? 

Carbon monoxide is very dangerous to people and pets. When we breathe it in, it binds to the hemoglobin in our blood, the component that usually take oxygen around our bodies. By doing this, it blocks out the oxygen and we begin to suffocate. Children, the elderly and people with respiratory conditions are especially vulnerable to carbon monoxide poisoning.

How Can I Protect My Family? 

Unfortunately, carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, so we’re unable to detect it with our own senses – but CO detectors can. These should be installed in each room of your home or near appliances. Be sure to test these detectors each year to make sure that the alarms are still in good working order.

The other thing you can do is ensure that your gas boiler is repaired and maintained to a high standard, as this will reduce the risk of carbon monoxide production. If your gas boiler is very old – over 15 years – it’s a good idea to replace it, as it likely isn’t working very efficiently or consuming fuel properly at that age and is far more likely to produce high levels of carbon monoxide.

This includes computer-controlled boilers that can reduce energy consumption by up to %16, many of which qualify under the New Jersey clean energy program for extensive rebates.

Furnace Or Heat Pump -What Will Work Best For Your Home?

When looking at home heating systems, you are going to have to choose between a heat pump and a furnace. So, what is the better option?

• Measuring Performance And Efficiency:

Furnaces:

Furnaces burn fuel, so their performance is measured with an AFUE rating – the higher the rating, the more efficient the furnace is. For a gas furnace, it has to have a rating of at least 90% to be considered of a high efficiency.

 Heat Pumps

Heat pumps run on electricity, so their efficiency and performance are measured with a SEER rating. A good quality heat pump has a 14 or 16 SEER rating. 

• What Is A Heat Pump?

Essentially, a heat pump is an air conditioner that can also work in reverse, so it can cool your home in summer and warm it up in winter, giving you both solutions in a single system. It can either pump the heat into or out of your home. They are considered environmentally friendly because they do not require fossil fuels, but they can be more expensive to run because of the higher price of electricity despite often being more efficient than a furnace. They are also a bit heavier on maintenance, but that is because you use them all year round, so they work twice as hard as your air conditioner and furnace.

• Comparing Heat Pumps And Furnaces:

Heat Pumps:

Heat pumps are only efficient in weather that is above freezing temperatures, as they work by pumping heat from the environment into your home. If you regularly experience below-freezing temperatures in winter, this option will not work for your home unless you have supplemental heating systems like a wood-burning stove.

 Furnaces:

A furnace, on the other hand, can operate in even the coldest environments as long as it has fuel. Therefore, your energy bill will increase, as it gets colder and the furnace has to work harder.

Lifespan:

The lifespan of a heat pump is around 15 years, while a furnace can regularly last over 20 years (although you can expect to see a decrease in efficiency as it ages). Fuel expenses for a furnace will change according to the type of fuel it uses, and while a gas furnace is often more affordable to run than a heat pump, many people don’t have access to natural gas in their area.

Is Your Home Heating System Energy-Efficient? Find Out:

In the fierce New Jersey winters, heating your home is essential! However, the last thing you want is to be surprised by a massive energy bill! This means carefully managing your home’s heating and, most importantly, ensuring that your heating system is as efficient as it can be. Here are some tips from our team:

• What Is Your AFUE Rating?

The AFUE rating, or annual fuel utilization efficiency rating, is the best indicator of how efficient your home heating system is. Essentially, this rating is the percentage of how efficiently your heater converts fuel into energy – the higher the rating, the better your system is because less fuel is wasted. For example, a 90% AFUE indicates that 90% of the fuel powering your heater is turned into heat and 10% is wasted. Older furnaces can perform surprisingly badly, often with an AFUE as low as 56%. This means that almost half of that fuel is wasted, so you are spending almost twice as much to heat your home as you would with a unit that has a 100% AFUE rating. You can find your system’s rating on its manual or on the sticker inside the furnace cabinet. To be considered a high-efficiency unit, it must have a rating of 90% or higher, and the lowest standard for new equipment is 76%.

• Compare Your Bills:

Energy bills fluctuate with the seasons and the use thereof. But, tracking them each month should help you spot unusually high bills that can indicate your heating system is no longer operating efficiently. It may need a simple service or repair, or it may have become worn out with age and may need replacing. Furnaces have an average lifespan of 20 or more years. However, recent breakthroughs in technology have meant that current new models may be worth investing in even if your furnace is just 10 years old; due to the energy savings they offer.

• Maintain Your Heating System:

Regular preventative maintenance is critical to the optimal performance of your heating system and the extension of its lifespan. It goes a long way to prevent the issues that reduce efficiency and thus increase your energy costs, and it stops small problems from becoming expensive ones. Try to time your maintenance schedule for the fall, before everyone turns on their heating and parts/service providers are in high demand.

Help! I Have No Hot Water!

There are few things that are worse than getting ready for your day and realizing that your home or business suddenly has no hot water. Here are common reasons why your boiler or hot water heating system may fail and what to do about it, from the specialists in boilers in NJ.

• Check your water supply: Your boiler or hot water heater may have switched off or stopped working because your water supply has stopped. Check to see that your energy supply is still functioning and that your property isn’t experiencing a water cut-off. A power cut can also affect your electric hot water heater, causing it to revert to factory settings. Your manual should include instructions on how to re-program it in this event.
• Frozen pipes: A very cold snap can cause severe problems for boilers and hot water heaters, compromising the water supply. Frozen pipes will need to be thawed, repaired (if needed) and properly insulated to prevent the same issue in future.
• Airlocks: Airlocks occur when air becomes trapped inside the water pipe, often due to damage or repairs on the pipe. If the air collects in a high point of the pipe, it can completely block water flow and will have to be cleared by professionals.
• Leaking or damaged boiler or hot water heater: There are many reasons a hot water tank or boiler can burst – often, it is just a result of old age – but this issue requires quick, professional intervention. Often, tanks and boilers have sensors that shut down the system for safety reasons. First, shut off your water supply and the energy supply to the tank at the main fuse board. Never touch any wires, the gas supply or the tank itself, and don’t step into the spilled water. Then, call in the professionals to evaluate and repair the problem.

How To Prepare Your Home For The Winter Chill

Homes across New Jersey are getting ready for the winter months, transforming into cozy, warm spaces where we can escape the chilly weather. Here are some tips from our home heating system specialists on preparing your home.

• Deal with leaks and drafts: Heating a home takes time, money and energy – so the last thing you want is for all that warm air to go to waste. Check your home’s doors and windows as well as vents, electrical/gas lines and plumbing for gaps where warm air could leak out of your home or cold air can get in. Often, it as simple as applying weather stripping or spray foam insulation, but professionals are available to assist with more complex jobs like inspecting and sealing ductwork.
• Check your insulation: Homes with poor insulation will be a challenge to keep warm even with a powerful heating system – and your bills will skyrocket too. Have your home’s insulation inspected (especially the attic, exterior walls and basement) and ensure that it is up to recommended standards.
• Clear the gutters: Leaves and other debris quickly clog up gutters in the fall and early winter months, blocking one of your home’s most important drainage systems. When gutters clog, rain and snowmelt can start seeping into your home’s walls, siding and foundation, causing moisture leaks, damp, mold and structural damage.
• Clean or replace air filters: Air filters capture debris and dirt to prevent it from entering your home or damaging your system. As the filters clog up, it becomes more difficult to supply your home with warm air, so your system can wear or break – and heating costs can rise. Replacing or cleaning these filters is a simple job and instructions should be with your system’s manual.
