HO says there hasn't been service work on the furnace in over four years when he replaced blower. Combustion was piped using the black PlexVent (80AFUE furnace) that I never see anymore. The flame...

Rheem UGDG12EARJR. Mid 1990s (?). During a courtesy inspection I noticed the flame rod was wired directly to the neutral off the hot surface ignitor. I did not have a schematic available, though it...

@lytning which one do you use?

I often tap my knuckles on RTUs but not often enough to call it a habit. I'm going to get one of those volt sticks monday. Way too many close calls in this thread.

"Rag rolls"?
I've never heard that. Sounds like a potential nightmare

Negate that! Found the manual under the HO 's drums

I'm having brain freeze. Can someone translate what BHP stands for on the SW1 switch? It is the third slot between low and emergency heat
Thanks

How come that thing didn't fry?

that water heater has seen better days...

I was going to recommend bring a torch but I dont think the smell of burning roaches would be any better

@freightshaker I'm guessing the undamaged candybars made it back on the shelf? I'm also hoping mice did that damage... rats bug me out royally

Sorry about the confusion. I thought the condenser was already live. That's what was throwing me off.

"When the A/C is on it blows hot air on the clothes and you don't have to goto the laundry mat."

damn. I'm surprised they haven't figured a way to put a box on top of that for their...

That is awesome... insta-marilyn monroe-dress thing going on there. Do they lay wood down over it when you're not there? and how's the access to the condensing unit down below?

That wiring is...

@phil are you talking about sprinklers not passing code where you are?

It looks like there is no room to get into the hatch area with a service bag let alone a compressor- thats got to be less than 20". I love the floor pic

That's a lot of rust. bummer.

I cant tell what that is: rust from exhaust?

At least they left a couple cinder blocks to sit on :0

@sicofthis: no doubt about the furnace. It sounds like it had seen its better days. If the source was the furnace I'd be of the same opinion as you. My assumption is the combustion was spilling prior...

"who cares what was causing it?"

The OP probably saw enough of the furnace to have confidence of the source and knew it was the right call. I still like knowing if my license is on the line....

What's the green stuff on #3?

Frickin' criminal. That was close to being a news story.
I'm guessing the combustion was spilling? Like Gravity I'm curious where the co was coming from.

Does that property have handymen who change filters? I've seen similar in those circumstances.

How did they go square to round on that exhaust?
