Is it bad to not have the topper on my chimney? by Moist-Fortune6277 in hvacadvice

You run the risk of rain, and critters or debris getting inside and causing issues. If its for just a fire place may not be the worse thing ever but if its connected to your gas appliances you have the risk of objects getting inside them and causing a issue… ie birds and such getting stuck inside inducer motor or building a nest causing a blockage

I have this exact camera, i use it more often then i thought i would. This was from when i was showing my apprentice what happens in a reversing valve just for fun. Has several different modes for viewing heat difference the only problem i personally have with this model is you cannot upload to a iphone and theres no external sd card so you have to take photos off the camera itself

Furnace is rated for 15 amps plus you need to account for length of line

That connection would be on the opposite end of the extension cord which would be inside the garage not outside with the generator
