What Is Included in a Furnace Inspection
Our standard inspection covers the full safety and performance picture of your heating system.
Work order
Furnace Inspection- Combustion Analysis: We insert a flue gas analyzer into the exhaust and read CO, CO2, oxygen and stack temperature. Every number gets compared to the manufacturer's rating plate. High CO or low CO2 means the burner is not burning clean, and that gets addressed before we leave.
- Gas Pressure Verification: A manometer on the gas valve inlet and outlet confirms the manifold pressure matches spec. On propane systems we use the propane rating, not the natural gas number. Off-spec pressure is one of the most common causes of sooting and short cycling.
- Heat Exchanger Camera Scope: We run an inspection camera through the exchanger cells looking for cracks, corrosion, soot streaks and pinholes. This is the single most important safety check on any furnace over 10 years old, and it is the one most quick inspections skip.
- Electrical Component Testing: Multimeter readings on the igniter, flame sensor, capacitor, limit switch and control board. We check flame sensor microamp signal, capacitor microfarads, and board sequencing. Weak components get flagged before they fail.
- Airflow and Temperature Rise: We measure static pressure and temperature rise across the furnace and compare to the rating plate. A furnace running outside its designed temperature rise wears out faster and heats your home unevenly. Duct or filter issues get identified here.
- Written Report With Photos: You get a documented report with all readings, photos of anything concerning, and a prioritized list of repairs if needed.

What Furnace Inspection Severance CO Actually Covers
A furnace inspection is not a formality. It is how you find out whether the system heating your home is safe to run all winter. We test it properly and write down what we find.
A Furnace Inspection Severance CO is a top-to-bottom safety and performance evaluation of your heating system, not a quick glance at the filter. We run a combustion analyzer on the flue, check gas pressure with a manometer, test the thermocouple and flame sensor with a multimeter, and scope the heat exchanger with an inspection camera. Every reading gets written down. You get the numbers, not a vague thumbs-up.
Severance sits at 4,800 feet with winter design temps that push furnaces hard from November through March, and the housing stock here is a mix of newer builds off County Road 23 and older homes near the downtown core. Both have failure patterns. Newer Carrier and Trane units often hide dirty flame sensors and weak capacitors; older Goodman and Rheem systems show up with cracked heat exchangers and pilot light won't stay lit complaints. An annual furnace inspection in Severance, Colorado catches those before they strand you.
- What it is
- A full safety and performance test of your furnace.
- When it helps
- Before winter, after a CO alarm, or on any older system.
- What you get
- A written report with readings and photos.
How Our Inspection Process Runs
Five steps, two to three hours on site for most homes, and a written report before we pull out of your driveway.
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Inspection
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Measures gas valve inlet and manifold pressure. We compare the reading to the rating plate spec and adjust if it is off. Critical on both natural gas and propane systems.
Tests igniter resistance, flame sensor microamps, capacitor microfarads, limit switch continuity and control board outputs. Every electrical component gets a real reading, not a guess.
Scopes the heat exchanger cells for cracks, corrosion and soot. This is the only reliable way to inspect a heat exchanger without pulling the furnace apart.
Reads millivolt output on standing-pilot furnaces. A low reading means the thermocouple is failing and the pilot will not stay lit.
When to Book a Furnace Inspection
You just bought a house in Severance and have no service history on the furnace.
We run a full inspection including heat exchanger scope, combustion analysis and a review of the install itself.
HomesYour furnace is 10 to 15 years old and has never had a professional inspection.
This is the age range where heat exchangers start cracking and blower motors start drawing high amps.
HomesYou are heading into winter and want to know the system will hold up.
Book a furnace inspection before winter Severance CO weather arrives.
HomesYour carbon monoxide detector went off and you want the furnace checked.
We treat this as a priority call.
HomesYou rent out a property in Severance and need documentation for the owner or insurer.
We inspect the system, document every reading with photos, and provide a written report suitable for property records.

How Furnace Inspection Runs in Severance
Severance sits at 4,800 feet in Weld County, and that altitude changes how a furnace burns. Combustion air is thinner up here, so a furnace that was set up at sea level will run rich unless the gas pressure is adjusted for altitude.
Downtown Severance
Older housing stock with standing-pilot furnaces and original ductwork. Heat exchanger cracks and thermocouple failures are the most common findings on inspections here.
Weld County Road 23 Corridor
Newer construction with high-efficiency Carrier and Trane systems. We mostly find dirty flame sensors, altitude-related gas pressure issues and airflow problems from undersized returns.
Severance Farms Area
Larger lots with a mix of propane and natural gas systems. Propane furnaces need different manifold pressure settings, and we verify them against the propane rating plate on every inspection.

- Weld County Road 23 Corridor

PhotoCracked Heat Exchanger Caught Before Winter
Before: A 14-year-old Goodman furnace in a downtown Severance home. The homeowner had no heat complaints, just a routine inspection request in October. Our camera scope found a 2-inch crack in the secondary heat exchanger cell. Combustion analysis showed elevated CO in the supply air.
After: We documented the crack with photos, explained the carbon monoxide risk, and quoted a replacement. The new Carrier unit went in the following week. Post-install combustion analysis showed CO at 12 ppm in the flue, well within safe range, and temperature rise right on the rating plate spec.
Short Cycling Fixed With Gas Pressure Adjustment
Before: A 6-year-old Trane furnace in a Windsor home was short cycling every 4 minutes. Two previous companies had replaced the flame sensor and the control board with no improvement. The homeowner was ready to replace the furnace.
After: Our inspection found manifold pressure at 4.1 inches of water column against a 3.5 spec. The furnace was overfiring and hitting the high limit. We adjusted the gas valve, cleaned the burners, and verified temperature rise dropped from 62 degrees to 45, right on spec. Short cycling stopped completely.
Pilot Light Issue Solved With a $12 Part
Before: A 1998 Rheem standing-pilot furnace in Eaton. The pilot would light but go out within an hour. The homeowner had been relighting it manually for two weeks and was ready to replace the whole system. Nighttime temps were dropping into the 20s.
After: We tested the thermocouple with a meter and got 14 millivolts against a 25 minimum. Replaced the thermocouple, cleaned the pilot orifice, and verified the pilot held steady through three full heating cycles.
Furnace Problems an Inspection Catches Early
Most furnace failures do not happen without warning. They give off signals for weeks or months first.
Furnace blows cold air or never reaches temperature
Usually a dirty flame sensor or a failing igniter. Left alone, the furnace locks out entirely and you wake up to a 55-degree house in January.
Furnace banging or booming on startup
Delayed ignition from a dirty burner or wrong gas pressure.
Furnace leaking water around the base
A clogged condensate line or a failing inducer on a high-efficiency unit. Water on the floor can rust the cabinet and short out the control board.
Pilot light will not stay lit
Almost always a failed thermocouple on a standing-pilot furnace.
Rising gas bill with no change in usage
A furnace running rich or with restricted airflow burns more gas for the same heat.
Why Severance Homeowners Book This Inspection
A furnace that runs is not the same as a furnace that runs safely.
Catch CO Risks Early
A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your supply air with no smell and no warning.
Cut Winter Breakdowns
Roughly 7 out of 10 no-heat calls we run in January trace back to something visible in October.

What Severance Customers Say
Had them out in October for an inspection on a 12-year-old Carrier. Tech found a cracked heat exchanger with the camera and showed me the photo on his tablet. No pressure, just the facts and a quote. We replaced the furnace two weeks later. Honest work, and they did not try to sell me anything I did not need.
Our furnace kept short cycling and two other companies just replaced parts. These guys ran a combustion analysis and found the gas pressure was way off spec. Adjusted it, cleaned the flame sensor, and the problem stopped. The written report was thorough. Worth every dollar for the inspection alone.
I manage six rentals around Severance and Johnstown and use them for annual inspections on all of them. They schedule around tenants, send the report the same day, and flag anything that needs attention with a photo. Makes my life a lot easier when I can forward a real document to the owner.
Furnace Inspection Questions We Get Every Week
Short answers for the first few minutes. The team can cover the rest.
Still have a question?
Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
(970) 1234567That covers the full combustion analysis, gas pressure check, heat exchanger scope and written report. If we find a repair, we quote it before starting and you decide. No hidden diagnostic fees stacked on top.
Once a year, ideally in September or October before the first hard freeze. Severance winters run long, and a furnace that sat idle from April to October can develop a dirty flame sensor, a cracked exchanger or a failed igniter in that downtime. If your system is over 15 years old, we recommend a check every fall without exception.
We cover Severance proper plus Windsor, Eaton, Timnath, Johnstown, Milliken, Greeley, Loveland, Berthoud, Mead, Firestone, Frederick, Kersey, La Salle and Platteville.
A full inspection covers filter and airflow check, blower motor amp draw, igniter and flame sensor testing, capacitor and limit switch verification, control board sequencing, gas valve pressure with a manometer, combustion analysis with a flue gas analyzer, and a camera scope of the heat exchanger. You get a written report with all readings and photos. Repairs are quoted separately and only if you approve them.
