new company - first winter service
Hey I'm just starting my company and have been doing service and checks for a few months now. I am starting to get calls for no heat, and gas heat service. I was wondering what checks need to be done on gas heat to make sure every thing is running well. What tools/ meters do I need to purchase? I have flute and field piece for the ac side and heat pumps, but nothing for nat gas. I know how to check the pressure coming in the then through the gas valve (11 WC for nat gas). I was thinking there was a fume detector or something I needed. something to check to flame maybe, not sure what all I need.
Thanks for the help

Not to be mean but maybe you should just run the business and hire an experienced tech to do the work. A list of tools doesn't help if you don't know what the readings are telling you.

The best way to do it is work for a company and make all the mistakes you can so it is at least covered by their insurance and then the least that can happen is you look for another job. I am not mad at you though for trying but you do need some more experience.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you're really in business for yourself and got to ask what kind of tools you need to properly service a gas furnace......uh......you might think really strongly about going to work for a quality experienced contractor before you lose everything in a horrible lawsuit. Lawsuits may be in your immediate future.....so get some more experience!
