I found something else interesting while researching HVAC
certification.

At:

http://www.natex.org/

(the certifying organization), they advise homeowners as follows:

"Your home’s heating and cooling system is a significant investment
that
will contribute to your comfort for many years. Protect that investment
by having it regularly serviced by a knowledgeable, certified
technician.

During a service call or annual inspection, remind a technician to:

1. Check fresh air grilles and louvers

2. Inspect burners for rust, dirt, or signs of water"

etc. One would think a certified HVAC tech would know that, but the
alleged experts here suggest instead that the homeowner keep quiet.

Quite a discrepancy, if you ask me.

LOL, yep.
