Do You Have The Flu
Or Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
HOW A HIDDEN LEAK IN YOUR FURNACE CAN MAKE YOU SICK.
Dear Friend,
I’m writing you this letter for an urgent reason. My name is Mark Schneider. My wife, Cynthia, and I own Pacific Aire Heating and Air Conditioning. I’m not a professional copywriter so please bear with me.
What I have to tell you is so important I feel like I’ve got to get it off my chest before I explode!
There are two kinds of dangerous gas that can leak from your furnace.
ONE YOU CAN SMELL AND ONE YOU CAN’T
You probably know that if you "smell gas" you should immediately shut down your furnace and call for help.
This is the gas that is delivered to your home from the gas company through the pipeline. And they put in a special chemical to make it smell like rotten eggs so you will be sure and notice it if there’s a leak.
Why?
Because if this gas were to build up, it could explode and destroy your home. So, if you ever "smell gas" you should get help quickly.
Now, the other dangerous gas is actually produced inside your furnace. In fact, it’s the same toxic gas that comes out of the tail pipe of your car if you leave it in a closed garage with the engine running. It’s called carbon monoxide. And you can’t smell it.
Even though carbon monoxide will not explode, it can be dangerous (even deadly) to you, your family and your pets. Especially if your furnace is over ten years old.
Here’s why.
Your forced air furnace has a heat exchanger inside made of thin metal (it’s not like the old cast iron monsters). Its job is to prevent the toxic gas (the one you can’t smell) from getting into the air you breathe.
CRACKS, LEAKS & DANGER
Carbon monoxide can leak into your home through cracks in the heat exchanger.
Here’s how it happens.
Your heat exchanger expands every time your furnace comes on. And it contracts when your furnace shuts off.
For years now your heat exchanger has expanded and contracted. And, just like bending a piece of metal back and forth will cause it to crack, so will your heat exchanger.
DANGER SIGNALS
The reason carbon monoxide is so poisonous to your family is because it starves your heart, brain and other organs of oxygen. And because you can’t smell it --- the first signs are headaches, nausea, pains and mental confusion.
These symptoms are often misdiagnosed as the flu or a bad cold. And even worse, carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty home heating causes hundreds of deaths in America every year. Children and the elderly are the most severely affected.
3 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF
First, check the area around your furnace and make sure there is enough air for the burner. It should not be in a tightly sealed space. The average furnace burns about twelve cubic feet of air per day. And this needs to be replaced by fresh air or it will produce more toxic fumes.
Second, visually inspect the heat exchanger for cracks. This is where a lot of poison can seep into the air you breathe. Since it’s difficult sometimes, even for a trained technician to visually inspect a heat exchanger, we use digital detectors as well as an infrared camera to inspect it.
Third, inspect both the water heater and furnace flue for internal obstructions or leaks around the joints.
OR, YOU CAN GET ALL THIS,
PLUS A LOT MORE FOR LESS THAN 50¢ ON THE DOLLAR
If you would rather have this done by a qualified technician, I will make sure you have good, clean air this winter that is safe for you and your family. Plus, I’ll have my technician completely tune up and professionally clean your furnace at NO EXTRA COST while he’s there.
For example he will:
Inspect heat exchanger for cracks, holes and separations using an infrared camera
Electronically test airflow passages for carbon monoxide with a gas leak detector
Remove burner and clean for more efficient burning
Vacuum clean and brush heat exchanger
Inspect flue or chimney for blockage
Lubricate all moving parts
Wash and clean indoor furnace filter or install new 1" inch standard size filter
Lubricate motor and check for proper balance
Inspect and individually tighten wire connections
Vacuum clean blower housing and remove all debris
Test thermostat for proper heat anticipator setting, cycle setting and adjust to within 2° F where possible
Check gas manifold pressure at furnace
Check thermocouple/electronic igniter for proper burn
Test fan switch and furnace limit for proper operation
Check gas valve for proper operation to reduce delayed ignition
Inspect for combustible material around furnace
The real world value for all this service is $152. Right now you can get it all for only $77. I have two reasons for letting you get this much service for less than fifty cents on the dollar.
My business can be slow during the Winter. And I decided that rather than lay off any of my technicians (and add to the unemployment statistics) I would strip out everything but my raw cost from the price and keep my technicians busy.
I’ll actually make money on this in the long run anyway. You see most people who sample my service like it so much they become long term customers. So, both of us will win. You’ll just win sooner than I will.
Anyway, doesn’t it just make sense to get this service so your family doesn’t have to live with the uncertainty that the next flu or cold symptom might actually be life threatening carbon monoxide?
100% RISK FREE
I guarantee you will be thrilled with this service. Because if you’re not, I will cheerfully return your entire $77 - - - No Questions Asked. You’re the judge and jury.
One more thing, it’s important. This service can easily make your furnace use a lot less gas this year. In fact, if you don’t save at least the entire cost of the service in lower gas bills I’ll also return your money. Once again, you judge for yourself. I don’t know how to be fairer than that.
