Migraines, poor health, respiratory problems, decreased profits from your property sale, higher energy costs. What in the world could be the cause of all of these maladies? That's right.........it's........ it's.........it's..... your heater? How could something so out of sight and out of mind cause all of these problems? Well, the words been out for several years but many Gold River residence haven't heard or paid attention, or may be new to the neighborhood and weren't informed, and this ones important so you need to pay attention. Many, and I stress the word many, of the heaters originally installed in Gold Rivers homes at construction were defective. The equipment manufacturer, Consolidated, sold to several companies including Trane and others. The defect in equipment allows dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide into the heated, forced air in your home which can lead to the problems listed above (soot on the walls and ceilings near your vents is a warning sign). There has already been a law suit filed and settled which provides for the replacement of the unit, but not the labor. Labor costs for replacement are $1,000 - $1,500 per unit but you and your families are worth it. Have yours checked now! How can this affect your homes value? Let's say your home is in escrow, the buyers have their inspection and a defective heater is found. The buyers: (a) back out of the sale, (b) request a new heat system be installed, $5,000 - $10,000 (c) want a $10,000 credit. Solution: Fix it now ($1,000). You and/ or your family are healthier and when you’re ready to sell, the potential problem is a none issue with a stronger sale.
