What do you get when you have a 100,000 btu furnace blowing through less than an 8” gap? … an opportunity to call me!

3 year old furnace was installed under the smallest ac coil they make. The furnace is almost double the btus required and then its air flow is choked down through the ac coil. More square inches of air were blocked off than available for flow.

The blower motor bearings are done. The fan blade (squirrel cage) is coming apart. This new “whisper quiet” furnace sounds like a freight train, with just as much vibration. The secondary heat exchanger is full of water, spewing CO and aldehydes out of the exhaust from incomplete combustion. The gas pressure was way too high, the static pressure in the duct is way too high.

It matters who you hire. It matters which employee shows up to your house.

When you call BMI HVAC-R, I answer and I show up to do the work.
Cheaper is quite often not better. I’m not the cheapest company in town and I never plan to be.

I hate seeing installs like this. But, I can fix it.

For anybody wondering about those snazzy furnace stands that I use, they do serve a function!

I cut them out to increase air flow. What’s the sense in having a 20” tall filter if only 16” of the furnace is being cut out? I can fix that. However, not every install has the space for the stand. I do my best to include it though!

Silicone and foam tape seal up any gaps between the box, furnace and duct.

Most manufacturers suggest a furnace stand, I can buy or make metal ones, I prefer the 3/4” finished plywood. 👍

When the only option for the condensate pump is into a back graded (drain not going down hill) kitchen drain 🤢

I did fix the slope. Cost $1 and about 3 minutes of time. Future kitchen drain problem: solved!

I clean the coil even when they don’t look that dirty. This was one that didn’t look that dirty. It was 😂

I clean the underside of your ac coil when I replace your furnace.

It’s not “another call” it’s not “out of the scope of work”. It’s what should be done. There’s cheaper and faster ways to install a furnace, but that’s not how I work.

Don’t worry furnace assembly line worker, I got those two screws you dropped into the blower housing 👍

Another customer ready for winter!

I serviced their old furnace last year. I was able to get them through last winter with plans to replace the furnace before it got cold this year. They’re set!

I was able to utilize the brick chimney for the new furnace vents. The other option (easier option) would have put the furnace exhaust out near the hot tub. So we definitely didn’t do that!

Give me a call, let’s make sure you’re warm and safe this winter!

If you get into hvac, remember, putting in a furnace for a buddy will be the hardest one you’ve done 😂

Previous venting, not done right, to the point of being dangerous. Gas line, not supported and an obscure length. Ac coil, doesn’t fit standard size furnace. Everything will just barely fit after you’ve cut, hammer and pray the furnace into place. And yes, you will have to build a custom fitting in their garage.

But it’s done and working well!

This little grey canister is called a “neutralizer”.
Did you know that the condensation coming out of your high efficient furnace, or hot water on demand boiler, is acidic? Well, it is!

If you’re in an old house with cast iron drains, the condensation water from your furnace will eventually corrode those pipes. It’s usually the main pipe underground connecting you to the city sewer.

“It’s ok Gavin, I’m on a septic system with plastic pipes”
Well…bad news… the acidity kills all the good bacteria in your septic tank/field. This prevents solids from breaking down and can lead to septic failures.

They’re easy to put in and you can buy them on Amazon. You do need to refill the limestone rocks inside every year.

Put one in! Or give me a call. I can go through your furnace, make sure it’s going to get you through the winter, and let you know of anything that isn’t quite right.

Stay cozy this winter!
