PROFESSIONAL RED TAG REMOVAL SERVICES
​
​
The majority of gas issues are inexpensive and easily fixed. One exception to this is if the furnace heat exchanger is cracked. Unfortunately some technicians might want to take advantage of selling you a new furnace by telling you that a heat exchanger is cracked. The heat exchanger is a series of metal tubes that get very hot when the furnace is on and over the years the constant heating up and cooling off may result in a cracked tube. When this happens, poisonous carbon monoxide gases escape and may get circulated through the home. To identify causes for red tagging are hardly straightforward, so you want look forward to receiving reliable results with a highly-trained and experienced technician like us.
Step 1 Gas being red tagged
If a gas company technician comes to a home to check the meter, light a pilot lite, turn on the gas or respond to a call of a gas smell and they observe a problem with the gas line or an appliance (water heater, furnace, etc.) with an unsafe condition they may red tag the gas meter and shut it off or red tag the appliance.
Examples of causes for red tagging may include:
​
​
-
Leaking gas meter or gas line
-
A vandalized furnace in a foreclosed home
-
Damaged burners on a stove top
-
Badly corroded gas components or supply lines
-
Improper installation or use of flexible gas supply lines
-
Furnaces with badly damaged or cracked heat exchanger
-
Furnaces with a leaking or improperly installed flue
Step 2 Removal of a “red tag”
After the repair has been done, a inspector will generally return to the house, check the repairs and reconnect the individual appliances or gas service to the home.
