Carbon Monoxide Alarm Going Off in Concord - FAQ
My Concord home is from the 1970s. What HVAC issues should I expect?
1970s Concord homes typically have original furnaces near end of life, undersized ductwork, and often no AC. Budget for system replacement - the efficiency gains alone justify it.
What makes this service different in Concord?
Concord's hot summers and diverse housing stock - from 1960s tract homes to the new Concord Naval Weapons Station development - require versatile HVAC expertise.
How important is AC maintenance in this hot climate?
Critical. With summer highs averaging 90°F, local AC systems work harder than coastal areas. Annual maintenance prevents costly mid-summer breakdowns.

Homes built in the 1960s-1990s typically experience aging systems throughout city. We specialize in addressing these specific issues.
What should I do if my CO alarm goes off?
Evacuate immediately. Don't try to find the source - get everyone out and call 911 from outside. Don't re-enter until the fire department clears the home. Then call for HVAC inspection.

Yes. All gas furnaces produce CO during combustion. Normally it's safely vented outside. A cracked heat exchanger or blocked flue can allow CO into your home - that's why annual inspection is critical.
