The Furnace Outlet

The Furnace Outlet is a source of HVAC education and home comfort information. We publish articles on heating, cooling, heat pumps, furnaces, air conditioners, boilers, water heating, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, HVAC maintenance and troubleshooting, equipment selection and other home-comfort topics. The Furnace Outlet may also provide calculators, comparison tools, buying guides, product information and links to third-party sites. Our project’s main purpose is to make HVAC information easier to understand, more practical and simpler for homeowners.

For Educational and Informational Purposes Only

The information published at The Furnace Outlet is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on The Furnace Outlet should be considered as professional HVAC, engineering, electrical, plumbing, construction, legal, financial or any other professional advice. Every home, HVAC system, installation & situation is unique. Information that is valid for one system or property may not be valid for another. For critical installation, repair, sizing, safety or equipment decisions please consult an appropriately qualified professional.

HVAC Safety

HVAC equipment can include components and conditions that can be potentially dangerous, such as:

  • Electrical and high voltage equipment
  • Fuel and Natural Gas
  • Burning and carbon monoxide
  • The refrigerants
  • Elevated temperatures
  • Pressurised systems
  • Mechanical parts in motion
  • Water and wastewater systems

Some of the The Furnace Outlet articles may describe basic troubleshooting procedures or home-owner checks. This is not to say that each procedure should be done without the help of a professional. Never attempt any procedure beyond your knowledge, training, qualifications or comfort level. Where appropriate, work involving gas, refrigerants, electrical systems, combustion equipment or other potentially hazardous components should be carried out by suitably qualified persons.

If you suspect a gas leak, carbon monoxide problem, electrical hazard, fire hazard or other emergency, stop using the affected equipment and call the appropriate emergency service or qualified professional.
