HVAC furnace help


Fatter than Joey

This is kind of funny.

 

My furnace also just took a crap within the last 12 hours. Mine is a Carrier Weathermaker 9200 and is 10+ years old. When it clicks on it starts chaking a rattling and the blower never turns on.

 

When I bought my house in February the seller gave me a one year home warranty and luckily the furnace is covered. It will only cost me a $60 deductible no matter if it is just a small repair or if they have to replace the whole thing. I think it might cost me a bit more for a replacement but obviously much less than if I had to buy the whole thing myself. I would probably prefer that they just give me a new one since the existing furnace is so old.

 

Only problem is that my warranty company can't find anyone available in the FDL area to come service my furnace so I am sitting here freezing my butt off waiting for someone to call. It is 63 now and will probably drop pretty fast once the sun goes down.

I'm afraid I don't have advice for either of you, but if FTJ calls a heating company for help, and continues to describe the furnace as "Yosty," I hope he records the call so we can hear the reaction.

 

Well -- My son and I were looking at it, and it would clunk a number of times and then quit -- and my son said "It sounds like if it clunked one more time it would fire up", and I thought to myself, that sounds like something Ned Yost would have said "We were one clunk away from blowing heat" -- hence I thought "Yosty" was an apt adjective.

 

It's probably a control unit that will cost 1/4 of what you paid for the furnace. That's what mine was.

 

Thankfully it was a little diaphragm that needed to be replaced. Something that they check when they do service calls -- Thankfully it should cost me only ~$100 or so. Whew.
