Most people may not be aware of the crucial function the heat exchanger play in the operation of the furnace. The primary function of the heat exchanger is to move warm air through the duct system while also venting the toxic gases outside the home. Over time the heat exchanger may become cracked or even fail. When this happens the ability of the heat exchanger to vent gases is decreased and can even result in the gases being circulated into the duct work and throughout your home.

The first Monday of each September is a very important holiday that we know as Labor Day. It is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers and constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well being of our country.
Some folks see Labor Day as the end of summer weekends away, cookouts, and the closing of the pool! Either way it is appropriate that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strengths, freedom, and leadership – the American worker. At Four Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning we recognize the contributions and dedication of our employees. We also want to recognize our customers who are also hard-working people who choose us for their HVAC needs. So tip your hat to yourself and all you know who work hard all year long to enjoy and relax on the one day dedicated to them. Have a safe and happy Labor Day 2010!!
-P.K.

Here are some useful tips from Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning for maintaining your water heater. Though often neglected draining the water heater is an important part of water heater maintenance and extending the life of your hot water tank. Most people fall into the trap of out of sight- out of mind. Most homeowners do not regularly check the temperature of their water heaters or remember to drain the sediment from the tank.
By draining the hot water tank you can help eliminate the build up of sediment in the tank. What sometimes happens is after a few years the build up of sediment may limit the amount of water available to be heated but also the sediment may cover the heating element and lead to it burning out.
