Guardian... may as well be Goodman. Round these parts if its a hacked install there's a more than good chance its a goodman(cheap=more money). We have been seeing alot of Guardian popping up that I could assume was installed by the same Goodman installers...as for the furnace in question. I would probably replace it. I have a few pic's to go by and a mild description. At what point will the parts and labor overrun the new install?

Exactly.
I will have to bring the boss back to make a decision on it but my inclination is change it out. They didn't do anything right. It isn't even inspected.

I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

Yep. That's the local brand around here for side jobs and handymen because the supplier will sell them over the counter to anybody without requiring an account or even a gas license. They aren't bad units either I had one in my basement before a flood took it out and I replaced it with a Rheem.

Inducer and heat exchanger cost + labor should get you in the neighborhood of new furnace $$$.
It`s better to be silent and thought the fool; than speak and remove all doubt.

I'm pretty sure they went into this job with the thought of let's see how many rules we can break on one install.

Did those screws actually puncture the inner liner? I’m pretty sure you can screw into B-vent but you need to use the 1/4” screws so it won’t puncture or contact the aluminum.
Quickly, I must hurry, for there go my people and I am their leader!

I don't know but you can't connect two different brands without using a slip connection.
