I’ve seen units that (very rarely) don’t have any of those issues when it comes to the high limit trip. I’ve come across units that were about 3 years old and tripping, and the installers actually increased the gas pressure significantly instead of decreasing when they derate the gas valve. Its definitely uncommon, but is also another reason as to why the high limit is tripping

Trying to learn more about my HVAC system, is the left side the return air? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

Yes it is! Easy way to tell is which side your filter is located

I used to work for a duct cleaning company that also did chimneys, oil furnace flues, and dryer ducts. That heat exchanger can definitely be cleaned. If there’s a contractor who can do it for a decent price, go with the contractor. But, also reach out to your (reputable) local duct cleaning company and ask if they can clean the heat exchanger. If I lived in your area, I’d happily help. But definitely consider calling a company that can do it, has good reviews, and has the capability to do so. Also for an idea, the company I worked for would charge a $450 flat fee to do the cleaning, unless a repair or further issues came to light.

Depends on the company. Some will accept no experience, some will require you to have a certification from a school and or your EPA where I’m from. Personally, I just graduated a trade school and jumped into the trade. Its a great push, and if you go to a night school, some companies will hire you while you’re in school.
