Estimate

Upon arrival for maintenance on gas furnace I changed air filter. I cleaned the flame sensor. I inspected heat exchanger and burners. I checked blower motor and assembly. I checked the resistance of igniter. Checked all wiring and control board. I checked inducer operation and ensured hose port was clear. I checked gas pressures. Checked air temperature rise. Performed combustion test. Unit is in normal operation at this time.

Burners are in bad shape and exterior of heat exchanger is starting to rust. Inducer is also pulling high amps. To replace inducer and burners would be around $1200. Inducer is modulating with pressure transducer. Customer would like pricing on new furnace.
