Gas Furnace - what parts to stock for emergencies?
On Jan 2, 12:06*pm, wrote:
What parts are good to keep on hand for a gas furnace? I have 2 Trane/ American Standard gas furnaces in the basement, about 7 years old. I just replaced the pressure switches, and the ignitor on one of them (went bad at 6 PM on New Year's Eve...). So today I am ordering a spare ignitor, as it will fit either furnace and I DON'T want to pay another $500 emergency call-out for such a simple part. So what else should I keep on hand? I.e., what items have a fair- chance of total failure, can be installed by a DIY-er, and aren't extremely expensive? In my experience, pressure switches are pretty inexpensive, but they can be cleaned / blown out, so you have time to order a new one after they start going bad. If you reply, I would greatly appreciate it if you could also respond directly to my email address. Thanks in advance, *- Erik I asked a similar question about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Purchased same exact replacement igniter for my American Standard. The contract company that does yearly maintenance quoted me $200.00 to replace. Bought from eBay for $28 including shipping. Your other question about replacement parts to keep on hand is a good one. Have made a note of what others have said. |
