Your friend doesn't have a furnace company do the annual maintenance on his
furnace. He thinks he's competent to tell you that "no problems" after
adjusting settings?

Please take out a life insurance policy on his family, and put me as the
beneficiary.

my �best friend throttled his back last winter, and had no troubles.

wouldnt recommend this for a direct vent 90+ type.

his furnace would occasionally gop boom on start up, throttled back it
didnt but ran longer.

he cleaned the burners this summer they were clogged near pilot light,
no more boom explosions



well he has multiple engineering degrees, and his best friend has a
PHD in mechanical engineering

interestingly he had a service company out who just said replace
furnace. while another friend a retired HVAC instructor said clean
burners

my buddy doesnt believe a new furnace will save him money. I replaced
our furnace by spring the proof will be in equitable gas bills

Incidently my buddy who cleaned his furnace converted both his
vehicles to compressed natural gas in the 70s and they still run on it
today.

not only did he design and build the system his machine shop and
foundry produced nearly all the parts.......

he is a retired teacher.....his effective price per gallon is about 2
bucks, natural gas has nerarly doiubled in cost in the last 2 years:
