Alternative Energy Systems - Rice's Reliable HVAC Services

Common signs include a strange, chemical-like smell (similar to formaldehyde), soot buildup around the furnace, visible cracks on the burner box, or your carbon monoxide detector going off. For safety, if you suspect a crack, turn off your furnace immediately and call us for a professional inspection. We'll check it thoroughly to keep your Rice home safe.

For systems of that age, replacement is often the more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution. Older units are prone to heat exchanger failures and operate much less efficiently, leading to high energy bills. We can assess your specific system, discuss modern, high-efficiency options, and help you understand potential rebates to make a smart investment for your home's comfort and safety.

Our thorough inspection includes a visual examination of the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, checking for proper burner flame, and conducting a combustion analysis to detect any dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. This proactive service is crucial for older systems common in Rice and gives you peace of mind that your family is safe from this hidden hazard.
