Before calling, always check the following to be sure serĆ
vice is required.
1 - Check that electrical isolator switches are
ON.

Safety Precautions
If you discover any of the following, shut down your
unit, and contact an independent Lennox dealer for
an inspection by a qualified technician.
S
If you repeatedly hear any new or unfamiliar sounds
while your unit is operating, there may be a problem.
For example, poorly performing burners can produce
unfamiliar noises.
S
If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operĆ
ating improperly. For example, units can give off unfaĆ
miliar odors if components are required to operate in
abnormal conditions.
S
Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. ExamĆ
ples include unusual amounts of condensate on winĆ
dows inside your house, visibly burnt components or
unusual dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or
in the unit.
S
If you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizziĆ
ness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monoxĆ
ide gas. This is often misdiagnosed as the flu because
symptoms are similar. If you suffer from flu-like sympĆ
toms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to subĆ
side while you are away from the house, exposure to
carbon monoxide could be the cause.
Your vigilance may pay off in early detection of a problem
before either personal injury or property damage occurs.
Do not hesitate to contact a qualified service technician as
an investment in your well being.
Planned Service
You should expect a service technician to check the folĆ
lowing items during an annual inspection. Power to the
unit must be shut off for the service technician's safety.
Fresh air grilles and louvers
(on the unit and in the room
where the furnace is installed) - Must be open and unobĆ
structed to provide combustion air.
Burners
- Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of waĆ
ter.
Vent pipe
- Must be inspected for signs of water, damĆ
aged or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.
Unit appearance
- Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Fan access door
- Must be properly in place and provide
a seal between the return air and the room where the furĆ
nace is installed.
Return air duct
- Must be properly attached and provide
an air seal to unit.
Operating performance
- Unit must be observed during
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and
the vent system.
Combustion gases
- Flue products must be analyzed
and compared to the unit specifications.
Problems detected during the inspection may make it
necessary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the
items can be repaired or replaced.
Pay attention to your furnace.
Situations can arise beĆ
tween annual furnace inspections that may result in unĆ
safe operation. For instance, items innocently stored next
to the furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply.
This could cause incomplete combustion and the producĆ
tion of carbon monoxide gas.
