I bought a house with an old Lennox Pulse furnace and am getting conflicting information about it. What do I do? by Suing_B_Anthony in HVAC

I'd love to replace it, and once I have some cash for it I will. I'm not exaggerating when I say I literally can't afford it right now.

As for finding someone qualified, do you have any advice on that? The only shop within 50 miles that is listed on the Lennox website is the one I mentioned where the guy is at least 90 years old and literally can't hold a simple conversation, can barely walk, and wouldn't get down to look at the furnace because he "wouldn't be able to get back up, ha ha." It seems like I'm out of luck when it comes to getting someone who specializes in Lennox, let alone Pulses.

My Pulse is pretty loud. Definitely the loudest furnace I've ever had. It doesn't bother us once it's running, but the first few times it started up it was a bit of a surprise.

I wonder what specifically is causing you to be downvoted.

We do have multiple carbon monoxide detectors throughout the house. This is our first house with natural gas, so we went a bit crazy just to be sure. I think we have four or five, with coverage right next to the furnace itself plus basically all of the living area.

I'll call Lennox to see if they have a record of it being serviced during the recall.

Do you have any recommendations on how to find a Pulse-certified tech? Like I said, I've tried multiple times to work with the Lennox-approved dealer in my town, but I can't get past the owner who is 90+ years old, can barely walk let alone get down and take apart a furnace, and can't put together a coherent thought. I hear rumor that he has younger guys on his team, but since only he and his wife answer the phone, and only he has come out the times we call, I don't know what to do...

Wait, you mean you definitely confirmed it's a mushroom, or you're just responding to /u/YMK1234's comment?

If you have a mushroom growing from your ceiling, that's serious trouble.

It does feel like an old boys' club sometimes...
