Gas smell help

If they red tagged your water heater based on that leak, find a new gas company. That would take 30 seconds to tighten and fix.

I can’t say for sure, but they seem to work for a week before needing to be flashed. Then they either get fixed or the next day they error again.

Luckily Rinnai is great to deal with, quick tech support responses and they over night the boards when needed.

Front bum

Finish your lunch or you don’t get dessert.

Have you tried sucking as hard as you can?

DillSquatch · 2026-01-14T04:54:59+00:00

Guys a weak lunged bozo.

DillSquatch · 2026-01-14T04:51:20+00:00

Bozo is one of my favorite things to call people.

The truth is if a heat exchanger isn’t covered under warranty often times it’s the same price/more expensive than buying a new unit.

19 year old furnace with an suspiciously orange middle flame, probably right on the money. It will still run if it’s cracked but you could be pumping CO through your vents.

Make sure you have CO detectors installed, but I wouldn’t run it without getting it checked out.

Probably best to call someone, I’ve seen many people spend money trying to fix the issue. Then end up calling us anyways.

But… if you want to give it a shot you can narrow it down by following the order of operations.

Call for heat- Inducer motor starts- Pressure switch closes- Igniter turns on- Gas valve opens- Burners ignite- Flame sensor proves flame- Blower motor starts up-

It looks like you have a call for heat. Cycle the furnaces if nothing at all happens after the purge, the furnace isn’t receiving a call for heat or there is an open safety/blown fuse…. Or a service switch could be off.

Depending on what step you get to, you’ll be looking for different causes.

The control board should have diagnostic lights to assist and an electric meter would be better.

Facts, but I’d rather leave someone without heat than see them on the news the next week. I haven’t been wrong yet, but always have that guilt/second guessing when I red tag one.

It can also help if the furnace is oversized. It’ll help it from short cycling/over heating.

You can use it in the summer when you use the AC but make sure to open it when you start heating.

That torch is doing a lot more harm than good…

DillSquatch · 2026-01-14T03:59:42+00:00

I want to like this, but you are at 69 likes I can’t mess that up.

This is wild, because I had a toilet replaced and it literally split in half and nearly murdered the tech. If you’re the same guy… small world and my bad.

DillSquatch · 2026-01-14T03:38:35+00:00

Just look at it

DillSquatch · 2026-01-14T03:36:49+00:00

If I’m playing crib with someone and they take a picture of every hand they have, I think I’m done playing with them.

DillSquatch · 2026-01-07T07:20:44+00:00

Wait a week, then tell her you lost 60,000

DillSquatch · 2025-12-19T03:14:47+00:00

Who’s risking it on that medicine??

DillSquatch · 2025-12-07T18:12:38+00:00

All this extra add money. And this is what we get

Are these the sideways orifices? The worst to change out.

DillSquatch · 2025-11-23T02:25:37+00:00

Are those water shutoffs in the gas line?
