there are a number of essential mechanical components that the operation of your furnace and heating system relies on. Your unit's performance can be negatively impacted by normal wear and tear of these different components. This will result in poor air flow, furnace overheating, and improper heating controls."
Consistent Heating
Most homes in the United States rely on forced air heating systems to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature, and these heating systems can actually exacerbate many of the discomforts we associate with wintertime.
Forced air heating systems work by heating air with a furnace and pumping it through a duct system where it comes out of vents and filters through the house.
The Know - Don't Hire Just Yet!
You can perform the simpler tasks such as checking for restrictions in the airflow that are typically caused by dirty air filters. Additionally, if you have a weak airflow, there may be a problem with the blower or the ducts. In that case, you should hire an HVAC contractor or technician to correct those issues.
Change Yo Filters!
The filters in your HVAC system are the first and most effective measure in protecting your heating and cooling system. Any HVAC specialist or home improvement guru will tell you, change your filters often.
Vent Covers 101!

So, yes, chemical drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes, especially when:
- You have older, weak metal pipes
- You use them incorrectly with plastic pipes
