What are the different types of furnace red tags?
There are two types of furnace red tags:
- Type A red tag is issued when an immediate hazard/danger has been identified by a licensed technician. In this case, your natural gas will immediately be turned off. By law, you cannot use the furnace until you have the the conditions corrected.
- Type B red tag is issued when the furnace has problems but it does not pose an immediate hazard/danger. In this case, you will have a 30-day deadline to repair or replace the equipment. But if you do not take any action by the set due dateline, your natural gas will be turned off.
