I like the cord because when its unplugged you know fur sure the power is disconnected. Also there is a place to plug in other stuff. The disadvantage is the ground can be cut off easily. Also someone can cut the cord off their vacuum cleaner and splice it in, see this all the time.
Just wondering Why do some people think a power cord is bad? I find it to be the safest way to kill power while working on furnace. My stove and dryer have plugs. My 1000 watt microwave, something watt dishwasher and clothes washer have them too. I do not understand, maybe an engineer will step in and explain this to me ... thanks.
Just wondering
If I remember correctly A switch for disconecting means will not pass inspection in my area.l

Why dont you agree with it its nice to be able to un plug it to work on it with out continuesly going to the breaker box. Ive never seen an evaperator that had power going to it. It's alot nicer to flip a switch on the side of the furnace & have an outlet hot wired before the switch for your leadlight.

Looks like whips were used to connect all , even the PRV drain on the water heater.

The plug is so you can run the furnace off a generator? Seen a few here for that purpose.
looks like somebody temped it in and then forgot about it. gotta love that silvertape!
Looks like poor workmanship issues aren't anything new!
Yea,We have a dedicated circuit with a SSU mounted within 4 ft. of furnace and exposed wire must be in conduit or flex conduit to pass residential inspection.
feel bad for the company thats paying that guy to go out and do work for them. have a good day bud!
Its going to the furnace.
look between the furnace and the water tank against the wall, that is a gas wip its either going to the furnace or the w.tank

Gas Flex You also gotta love those "Custom" bends on that Gas line
Gas Flex
Originally posted by Steve Wiggins <snip> Here is one that got hit by lightning just the other day....note the burn mark on the sheet rock from the gas flex getting so hot. It also discolored the flex near the connection. <snip> Damn, that's scary! I ran into a few of these plug-in jobs down in Austin, but never a woolybugger like this. How was the furnace grounded?
In Canada eh; we have to have it hard wired on its own 15 amp circuit with a disconnect switch within arms reach of the furnace eh! I have never seen a fry up as a result of a lightning strike
interesting photos glad ive never run across installs that bad in ma must be hard wired dedicated circuit hace seen a/c air handlers with no emergency pans and a/coils installed in return plenum of oil fired furnace
