Peekskill, NY — Gas Furnace Tune-Up, Venting Repair & IAQ Upgrade

This home has a gas furnace paired with an older R22 AC system. The goal was to keep the existing equipment running safely while improving comfort and indoor air quality. During our inspection, we found that the exhaust venting for the furnace was installed improperly, and the previous contractor had used drywall screws on the PVC vent pipe to hold fittings together. Screws inside vent piping can create turbulence, collect condensation, and lead to premature corrosion or leaks. We re-piped the exhaust vent properly to restore safe operation. The homeowner has pets, and their grandson has severe allergies, so we installed an Aprilaire media filter to capture fine particulate, dander, and airborne irritants. We performed a full clean and tune on both the gas furnace and the existing R22 AC system, and placed them on a maintenance plan to extend their service life as long as possible. Not every job requires a full system replacement. Sometimes the right approach is to restore safety, improve filtration, and maintain what’s already there. Another solid service job in Peekskill.
