CO levels remained within acceptable limits and the furnace is operating safely.

Performed annual heating maintenance on a 19-year-old garage-installed gas furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly, gas manifold, and gas valve. Verified manifold gas pressure at 3.44 in. w.c. with a digital manometer, within normal operating range for natural gas. Observed light dust accumulation on the gas valve and cabinet interior with no evidence of rust, frost, or component damage.

Installed a new 80% AFUE, 70,000 BTU Merit Series A-cabinet gas furnace in a confined closet, leveling the unit and connecting the flue vent to the existing ductwork. Completed rigid metal gas piping and electrical connections, routed the condensate/drain line, and installed a new thermostat to complete the system replacement.

Performed a courtesy inspection on an older Rheem gas furnace, including a combustion analysis with a Testo 310 flue gas analyzer, which showed natural gas readings of 116.7°F stack temperature, 11.3% O2, 5.44% CO2, 12 ppm CO (26 ppm air-free), 104.3% excess air, and 88.1% combustion efficiency. Evaluated general equipment operation and condition, including the inducer assembly and PVC venting, to help determine whether repair or replacement is the better option.

Conducted a furnace replacement estimate, inspecting the existing belt-driven blower furnace and noting heavy dust and debris accumulation, discoloration and staining on the galvanized flue, and loose wiring near the PVC condensate/vent piping, all indicating an aged unit in need of replacement. Also assessed the exterior equipment, including the gas meter, condenser unit, insulated refrigerant line set, and electrical disconnect, finding no visible frost, rust, or damage, and documented all conditions with photos to support replacement recommendations.

Responded to a no-heat call on a 15–20 year old gas furnace and inspected the unit, finding heavy soot, dirt, and corrosion buildup in the burner and control compartment along with aged, taped wiring in need of attention. Performed a borescope inspection of the heat exchanger, which showed weld seam discoloration and rust streaking near fine cracks and openings, indicating age-related deterioration that warrants continued monitoring and evaluation for replacement.

Performed annual heating maintenance on a 7-year-old gas furnace, including combustion analysis with a flue gas analyzer and manometer. Readings showed CO of 46 ppm, CO₂ at 6.39%, O₂ at 9.6%, stack temperature of 360°F, net efficiency of 80.2%, and manifold differential pressure of 3.49 inH₂O on natural gas, confirming safe, stable operation within acceptable parameters.

Performed a seasonal heating tune-up on a 5-year-old gas furnace, inspecting the cabinet, gas piping connections, PVC venting, and condensate drain system. Verified the condensate pump and drain line were properly connected and functioning, and noted corrosion on nearby brass fittings and dust accumulation in the mechanical space for the homeowner's awareness. Gas piping joints and unions showed no evidence of leaks, and the system was left operating normally.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on a 3-year-old Lennox gas furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, condensate drain, flue/venting, and ductwork connections, with operation verified through a full heating cycle. Inspected the 14x20x1 return filter and the Aprilaire whole-home humidifier and control, and confirmed no visible leaks, corrosion, or damage. System was left operating normally.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on the gas furnace located in the attic. Inspected the system and replaced the heavily soiled pleated air filter, which was clogged with dust and debris, to restore proper airflow and improve system efficiency.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on a 2-year-old gas furnace, inspecting the cabinet interior, condensate drain line, and electrical connections. Found significant rust and corrosion on the galvanized cabinet floor beneath the condensate drain hose and fitting, indicating a possible past or ongoing leak at the drain connection; recommend monitoring and further evaluation. Condensate PVC drain piping and rubber coupling were secure and free of cracking or damage, and the 16x25x1 air filter was verified in place.
