Fall Furnace Tune-Up Ideas

Fall is here and there will be an occasional chilly night and morning and you may wind up firing up the furnace before winter. I have already had the fireplace going a couple of nights.
How do you get your furnace ready for winter? The easy answer is call your HVAC professional and have them do a maintenance on your heating system. If things are so strapped financially there are a couple of things you can do.
 1.-Change filter.--obvious but overlooked.
 2.-Vacuum combustion area in front of burners and burners themselves.
 3.-Blow out the same area after vacuuming.
Note: You have to careful not to damage a spark probe or the silicon steel hot surface ignitor.
 4.-Clean out blower section.
 5.-Clean flue pipe.
 6.-Fire up unit and visually inspect flame and cycle of system.

What Is Third Hand Smoke?

    We've previously heard about second-hand smoke (which is the smoke that comes off the end of the cigarette or cigar combined with the smoke exhaled by the person who is smoking) and the dangers.  According to the Surgeon General, there is no safe level of exposure for secondhand tobacco smoke.  Considering that tobacco smoke contains 7,000 chemicals and compounds, and more than 70 of them can cause cancer, it is not surprising.

 Which brings us back to the question what is third-hand smoke?  Third-hand smoke is that smell of smoke you get from places where individuals have smoked.  Third-hand smoke consists of the chemicals which remain in a room after the smoking has stopped.  Many of the chemicals in cigarette smoke can cling to walls, ceilings, & other surfaces or can absorb into carpets, drapes, & other fabrics.  A scientific study in 2002 showed that these chemicals can "offgas" back into the air & even re-combine to form harmful compounds that stay at high levels long after smoking has stopped.
