O.T- home gas furnace inspection
Hello all, sorry for the OT post, but they are made out of sheetmetal
right ;-) And besides you guys know LOTS of usefull stuff like this, and if were lucky it will naturally diverge into other interesting metal stuff.... Anyway, I'm about to buy my first house, the inspection deadline is coming up next week, I'm adept at the rest of everything, Ive just never messed with a gas furnace before, are there any GOTCHA's that I should be on the lookout for? I understand you want to look for cracks near the bottom of the heat exchanger? This unit is different than what Ive been sorta familiar with before in that, this is a bi-level house, the furnace is upstairs, and the the unit has its cold air returns up at the ceiling upstairs(!), the hot air goes out in in the traditional manner in floor vents. Someone was trying to tell me that it was mounted upside down, partly because the decals inside are upside down...., wouldnt it either not work well, if at all, or it would have melted/burned down very shortly afterwards correct? It starts fine, the flame looks good, and everything appears to draft correctly so personally I'm thinkin its fine. It looks very neatly, professionally installed, but is in bad need of a cleaning at least.... any comments guys? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Mark |
